CONTENT to Top

Cream puffs are a steam leavened product. A critical factor in preparation of the cream puffs is the establishment of a stable emulsion. This emulsion is formed due to the lecithin in the egg yolk of the eggs. Basically, water, butter, and flour are heated together to form a gelatinized mixture. Without allowing coagulation, eggs are beaten in to complete the emulsification of the butter.
