4. Tip in the flour at one go and beat till mixture forms a dough that comes away from the side of the pan. Leave to cool for a few mintues.
5. Gradually add beaten eggs. Using a beater, beat till smooth and glossy. What u want here is a thick enough paste that will pull away from your beater when lifted. You do not want a dough, or too thin a paste.
6. Add in the vanilla extract.
7. Using two spoons or piping bag, make 12 even spoonfuls or pipe into 12 of the mixture, well apart from each other on baking sheet.
8. Bake for about 25 minutes till risen and golden. Make a slit in the middle of each puffs, just as where you are going to fill the fillings and return them in oven for about 3-5 mins. The inside of puffs shouldnt be too wet as it may collapse if it is. Cool on wire rack.

10. Beat together egg yolks, sugar, flour till smooth. (Add vanilla extract here is you do not have vanilla pod in previous step).Remove vanilla pod from the milk mixture and scrape the seeds and add them back to milk. Pour milk over egg mixture and beat well.
11. Return custard back to pan and cook over gentle heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. We do not want to make scramble eggs so be careful if your stove is very hot and make sure you stir constantly. Stir till thick and smooth, around 4-5 mins.
12. Transfer to a small bowl, cover with platic wrap, touching the surface of the custard and place in the refridgerator.
