Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine water, butter, and salt for pastries in a saucepan on the stove; bring to a brisk boil. Add flour, then turn off the heat and stir vigorously until mixture is smooth.
- Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until mixture is thick and shiny. Spoon 12 dollops of the mixture onto each of the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 30 minutes, swapping racks halfway through. Remove to cooling racks and let cool, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine milk, condensed milk, sugar, eggs, and salt for filling in a pot over medium-high heat. When the mixture starts to steam, reduce heat to medium.
- Place cornstarch in a bowl and stir in about 2 tablespoons of the hot milk mixture. Stir vigorously until it's completely liquid, then pour into the pot with the remaining milk mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until custard thickens.
- Turn off the heat, add vanilla, and continue stirring for about 8 minutes. Let cool, about 10 minutes; it will thicken as it cools.
- Cut the tops off the cooled pastries. Add the custard filling and put the tops back on. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

CHEF JOHN'S MANHATTAN CLAM CHOWDER
Manhattan clam chowder is usually very watery, too tomato-y, and not nearly clammy enough so I reworked the recipe into something significantly more rich, satisfying, and delicious. My secrets? A ton of clams, not too much tomato, and a little bit of flour to thicken things up. Serve with oyster crackers and garnish with fresh chives, parsley, tarragon, or even dill, if desired.

Steps:
- Drain baby and chopped clams. Reserve liquid in the refrigerator until needed and set clams aside.
- Place bacon in a soup pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir until well-browned and almost crispy, 7 to 10 minutes. Add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt; cook and stir until onions start to soften and turn translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Add tomato paste; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Don't worry if some of the tomato paste sticks to the bottom of the pot; we want that to happen. Sprinkle in flour; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Dump in reserved clam juice plus bottled clam juice and chicken broth. Stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze any caramelization.
- Add carrots, celery, clams, diced tomatoes, pepper, and cayenne; stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, skimming off some bacon fat if desired.
- Add diced potatoes and cook until tender but not falling apart, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt, if needed. Stir in fresh tarragon and parsley just before serving.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your clam puffs.
- Make sure your clams are properly cleaned. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and remove any grit or sand.
- Don't overcook the clams. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and tender.
- Use a light hand when mixing the batter. Overmixing will result in tough clam puffs.
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will allow the flavors to meld and the batter to thicken slightly.
- Cook the clam puffs in hot oil. This will help them to rise and become crispy.
- Serve the clam puffs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Clam puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With their crispy exterior and tender, flavorful interior, they are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give clam puffs a try. You won't be disappointed!
