Air Fryer Version Meringue Puffs
1.
Let’s make the meringue first, and prepare the ingredients needed for the meringue: 100 grams of low-gluten flour, 80 grams of butter, and 55 grams of powdered sugar.
2.
Sift the powdered sugar, and then pour the butter completely melted in insulated water into the powdered sugar.
3.
Stir until as shown in the picture, the butter and powdered sugar are completely integrated
4.
Then sift in low-gluten flour
5.
Stir until as shown in the picture, the low-gluten flour completely absorbs the butter and powdered sugar and becomes an oily dough
6.
Divide the oily dough into 4 parts, knead them into small rounds, press them into round cakes, wrap them in plastic wrap, and put them in the refrigerator for later use
7.
Next, we start to make the puffs. The required ingredients are: 2 grams of salt, 20 grams of sugar, 50 grams of butter, 100 grams of milk, 60 grams of low-gluten flour, and 2 eggs.
Put butter, sugar, salt in the pot, pour milk, and bring to a boil
8.
Stir and cook until the butter and milk are completely mixed as shown in the figure

Sift in the low-gluten flour, this action must be fast, otherwise the flour will be easy to clump, just in case, you can also prepare the low-gluten flour in advance
10.
Stir and fry until the flour and butter milk are completely integrated without lumps, turn off the heat
11.
Pour the butter and milk noodles into a large basin

Beat two eggs into egg liquid
13.
Pour the egg liquid into the butter and milk dough that has just been prepared, and be sure to pour it in in batches
14.
Stir the batter vigorously, and mix until the fork becomes a triangle hung in advance as shown in the figure, so that the puff batter is ready
15.
Take a medium-sized tinfoil bowl, and use a spoon to fold a few spoonfuls of puff batter like a stack of two or three layers
16.
Take out the puff pastry from the refrigerator. It should be very hard. Be careful when you take it, because it will break easily. Put the puff pastry on the folded puff batter
17.
Preheat the air fryer at 200°C for 5 minutes, then take out the frying basket and put the tin foil bowl in carefully. Be careful not to burn your hands! Push in the frying basket and heat it at 200 degrees for 10 minutes. After that, turn it to 180 degrees and heat for 15 minutes. Don't turn it on during the whole heating process! Then the puff pastry is complete. I think the air fryer is better than the oven to make this kind of high-oil food.
