Ingredients
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter (⅔ stick)
- ¾ cup water
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
For the Cream Filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the butter and water, and stir until it begins to boil. Once it starts a slow boil, add in the flour and continue to mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture begins to pull from the sides of the saucepan. Remove from the stove top.
- Add in the eggs, stirring constantly with a fork, until they are well combined into the batter. (The batter will seem “mushy” at first. But as you stir, it will thicken up and become a more solid dough.)
- Spoon or pipe the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Puffs should be about 1 inch in size.
- Bake for about 13-15 minutes without opening the oven door while they are baking. Once they turn golden brown, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool.
- While the puffs are cooling, using a hand mixer, whisk the heavy cream on high until it thickens and looks like shaving cream. Fold in the powdered sugar and mix gently.
- Once the puffs have cooled, cut each cream puff in half and pipe or spoon cream filling onto the bottom slice. Replace top cover over the filling.
