Mama K's Kue Soes is a delightful Indonesian cream puff pastry that you will fall in love with. This traditional treat is made with a crisp choux pastry filled with a rich and creamy custard filling that has a hint of vanilla and a splash of rum. Perfect for any special occasion or just to enjoy as a sweet indulgence at home. Let's dive into the recipe for making these delectable pastries from scratch.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup of water and let it come to a boil.
- Remove from heat and immediately add the flour, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Return the mixture to the heat and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to dry out the dough slightly.
- Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, beat the mixture while adding the egg yolks one at a time. Ensure each yolk is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Continue to beat until the dough is smooth and glossy and forms a thick ribbon when lifted.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe small mounds (about the size of a golf ball) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and have risen significantly.
- Once done, immediately puncture each puff with a toothpick to release steam and prevent them from deflating. Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat. Heat until the mixture is almost boiling, then remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the corn flour and egg yolks until well combined.
- Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
- Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and rum. Transfer the pastry cream to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (touching the surface of the cream to prevent a skin from forming), and let it cool completely in the refrigerator.
- Once the pastry puffs and cream are completely cooled, make a small incision in the side of each puff.
- Fill a piping bag with the pastry cream and pipe it into each puff until full.
- Arrange the filled Kue Soes on a serving platter. Optionally, dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Enjoy these delightful, creamy pastries with family and friends!
