- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour

For the milk tea pastry cream:
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) whole milk
- 3 black tea bags or 1 tablespoon loose black tea

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, combine water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Once the butter melts and the mixture starts to bubble, add the flour and stir vigorously until a dough forms.
- Cook for another 1–2 minutes, then transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let cool.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the dough is smooth.
- Pipe or spoon mounds onto the baking sheet and bake.
- To make the milk tea cream, heat milk, steep tea, and whisk egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt.
- Slowly whisk warm milk into the egg mixture, then cook until thickened.
- Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla, and chill.
- Once cooled, fill the choux pastries with the milk tea cream and dust with powdered sugar or glaze before serving.
Notes
- You can use Earl Grey tea for a floral twist or brown sugar in the cream for extra depth.
- Store filled puffs in the fridge and serve within a day for best texture.
