I can confirm that it is some sort of custard batter - no custard injected. My assumption is that it works like those self saucing puddings where somehow the batter gets drawn to the top leaving the sauce or in this case custard behind.

Used to make all my friends giggle walking past it on the way back to Central after a night out in Chinatown for dinner, dessert and karaoke!

Can it just be cooked egg custard?!? Sydney readers - can anyone swing over there and confirm this?!? We must get this solved!<br/><br/>Esther - there is a place on Russell Street near Noodle Kingdown that does a similar emperors puff thingo, but it is like a dimpled sheet - sort of like a custardy bubble wrap. I haven't tried it yet as I was just too full to give it a crack today. But I'll go back and give it a blog when I do :-) Hmm…can it truly be so? Can it just be cooked egg custard?!?

If you watch the machine, you will see that there is no <i>pumping them full of sweet custard</i> the whole thing is custard. The outside goes crispy and holds its shape and the inside stays soft with custardy goodness These are Yummy.

They are certainly delicious - but I must admit to feeling somewhat sullied by them in theory. Seemed bizarre that these "all natural" biscuit bombs maintained their outer integrity, despite the custardy insides, for hours and hours on end. How/why is it so? ;-) Hey there johanna - aaah yes…I tried ‘puffy’ at QV when it first opened. They are certainly delicious - but I must admit to feeling somewhat sullied by them in theory.
