Cream Puffs with Vegetable Oil and One Egg Cream Puffs with Vegetable Oil and One Egg
I found a recipe in a magazine for cream puffs that used vegetable oil. However, I was worried of wasting ingredients if it didn't turn out well. So then I tried using one egg and it was a success! I get fluffy and soft cream puffs every batch. They are not too big and 6 cream puffs is good for a small family. There's no waste or frustration involved. The puffs themselves are not so sweet, so sweeten the cream a little more than usual.The hints are to check the consistency of the dough and to pipe out the dough to form the shells. Refer to Step 7 to see the consistency of the dough. When you pipe out the dough with a pastry bag, don't squeeze out into a spiral shape, just squeeze it out in one spot. Although this depends on your oven, if 200°C is too high, turn down the temperature to 180℃ to avoid scorching the shells. Last but not least, don't be too. Recipe by Pokuchan -

Chiffon Roll With Caramel Cream Filling Chiffon Roll With Caramel Cream Filling
I adapted my own recipe, taking hints from a famous rolled cake shop. I used Hiraide brand canola oil and the cake turned out a pretty yellow and looked and tasted delicious! It didn't have a funny taste like some vegetable oils, and it was lighter than ones with butter. This recipe is a keeper.If you overbeat the meringue, it's hard to mix into the egg yolk batter, and you end up kneading it in,rather than folding. You may not need to use all of the cream.
