Let me tell you my story about making this puffs. I've prepared my own version of bbq meat the night before and was nicely kept in my fridge. The very next morning, I woke at 730am to start making the pastry. I was so excited and put so much hope that I can bring all these puffs back to my hometown for my grandma and others. But something was not right when I started to knead the water dough of the pastry. I followed exactly from the book and the I can't knead the said ingredients into a dough. I was so upset and frustrated then I started to panic because I've promise to bring back some nice puffs for our tea that day. Then I try my best to make some changes out from the book.
Well, from the pictures above I can say those puffs taste good and crispy. And so I've done another new version of the ingredients again..hehe!
Here's the recipe.......Fillings:
300g Bbq chicken meat or BBq pork (finely chopped) ~ Recipe here.
Pastry:
(Water dough)
300g Plain flour
60g Margarine
3 tbsps fine sugar
2 eggs
5-6 tbsps water ( may need more if the dough still dry)
(Oil dough)
150g plain flour
100g Margarine
Method:
~ Mix all water dough ingredients and oil dough ingredeints separately until a smooth dough form. Rest dough for 10 minutes.
~ Divide water dough into 20g each and 15g each for oil dough.
~ Wrap oil dough into water dough and roll into reactangle shapes. Fold into 3 layers and roll out again. (repeat 2 times).
~ Roll out dough (still rectangle shape) and place some fillings on one side of the pastry and fold the other end over the fillings. Seal tight all edges and seal both side edges with a fork.
~ Brush beaten eggs over surface and bake at 180-190'C for 20 minutes until golden brown.
Try these out and let me know if you have a better recipe for these puffs. Thanks in advance..:)
