The Beard Papa's Cream Puff

Have anyone heard of Beard Papa's cream puff before? Mm..mm..NOT ME ! I've only seen it on the web site. And found out there's actually a few Beard Papa's outlets at some of the biggest shopping mall in Malaysia. I have yet tried anything from any of the shops but already drooling after went through the menu, click to see Are you salivating too???? haha.... So many varieties to choose from  The menu looks truly mouthwatering, isn't it? And I knew I got to make some. So, here's my homemade version of Beard Papa's cookie crust puff.

Ingredients for Choux Pastry :
(A)
100ml  water
100ml  milk
100gm  butter
a pinch of salt
1 tspn  sugar

(B)
120gm   all purpose flour

(C)
3-4 eggs, lightly beaten

Method :
(1) bring ingredients (A) to boil then remove from heat.
(2) stir in flour and mix to well over low heat till you get a dough ball.
(3) now, transfer dough ball to a big plastic bowl & let dough cool for 5 mins, then stir in egg one at a time by using a wooden or plastic spoon. Keep stirring untill you get the right consistency. (not too firm nor too runny). You don't have to use up all the eggs.
(4) fill mixture into pipping bag and pipe into small dough to baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.
(5) cut cookie dough into small pieces and flatten by pressing between a plastic sheet, then place onto choux batter.
(6) finally, bake at preheated oven 195-200'C for about 20 mins or till nicely puffed up & brown.
(7) cooled and cut open the pastry then fill in the cream.
