Creampuffs

 

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

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. 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.
  3. Beat in all of the eggs at once. Continue beating until smooth.
  4. Drop 1/4 cup of dough about 3 inches apart on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minute, until puffed and golden. Cool completely.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar
