This is sort of a throwback recipe. I have done this one a while back and they came out pretty nicely. I was very proud to have thrown this together for my parents.
INGREDIENTS
-
Water – 1 cup
-
Butter – 1/2 cup
-
All-purpose flour – 1 cup
-
Eggs – 4
-
Heavy cream – 2 cups
-
Powdered sugar – 1/3 cup
-
Vanilla – 1/2 tsp
DIRECTIONS
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
In a small saucepan bring water and butter to a boil. Stir in the flour, reducing heat to low. Stir vigorously, over low heat for 1 minute, or until the dough forms a ball. Remove from heat.
-
Beat in all of the eggs at once. Continue beating until smooth.
-
Drop 1/4 cup of dough about 3 inches apart on a baking sheet.
-
Bake for 35-40 minute, until puffed and golden. Cool completely.
-
While they are cooling, prepare the whipped cream. Using a stand mixer whisk the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until stiff peaks.
-
Once the puffs are cool, using a serrated knife, cut the top 1/3 off each puff. Fill each puff with a scoop of whipped cream. Place the top back on.
-
Dust with powdered sugar
