Ingredients
Basic Cream Puffs:
- 3/4 /4 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 /4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- Egg wash (optional)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon water
Churro Topping:
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
- 2 tablespoons honey
Churro Filling:
- 1 1/2 /2 cups heavy whipping cream
- pinch of salt
- 1/3 /3 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°. Lightly grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Measure flour and set aside.
- Bring butter, sugar, salt, and 3/4 cup water to a boil in a 3-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Immediately remove from heat, and quickly stir in flour mixture all at once. Return to heat and stir with a wooden spoon for 1 to 2 minutes, or until dough is smooth and forms a ball. Transfer dough to the bowl of an electric mixer, and let cool 5 minutes.
- Add 3 eggs, 1 at a time, beating until mixture is smooth and glossy. Spoon dough into a pastry bag fitted with a 5/8-inch plain tip. You can also use a Ziploc bag with the tip cut off or a small ice cream scoop. Pipe dough onto prepared pans into 1 1/2-inch rounds (1 1/2 inches high). Smooth out peaks and round tops with a moistened finger.
- For the egg wash: Whisk together remaining 1 egg and 1 tsp. water. Brush tops of dough with egg mixture.
- Bake at 425° for 5 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 375°, and bake 30 minutes or until puffy and golden brown. Turn oven off; let shells stand in closed oven 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
- For the Churro Topping: Combine granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Microwave honey in a small microwave-safe bowl about 20 seconds, or until it starts to boil. Brush tops of cream puffs with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake for 5 minutes. Let them cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and salt at medium speed until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and cinnamon, and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Spoon whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Pierce the side of each cream puff with a small knife to create a hole. Insert the pastry tip into the hole and fill with cinnamon whipped cream. You can also just slice them in half and fill them that way.
