Mix the butter, sugar and flour together until it forms a dough.

Divide the dough into 2 portions.

Add in food colouring. Mix the dough till the colour is evenly mixed.

Place the dough on a cling wrap. Cover it up with another cling wrap. Roll the dough into a very thin sheet.
#Tips: This will allow more crack lines to be seen and the pastry will be less sweet.

Use a 3cm cutter and cut out the round shape. Transfer to the freezer until it’s ready to be used.

Bring the milk, water, salt, sugar and butter to a boil.

Removed from heat and stir in the sifted flour. Bring it back to stove.

Stir till the dough comes together and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Spread the dough and allow it to cool down.
#Tips: Do not work the puff dough too much as the puff may turn into bread after it’s bake. Thus, you may not be able to fill in as much cream as you want it to be.

Add eggs in 3 batches. After adding 2 portions, check the texture of the dough. The dough must make a nice ribbon. Not too runny and not too hard for piping. If it’s too firm, add in more eggs gradually.
