Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 5 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 cup flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Add water, butter, sugar and salt to a saucepan and bring to simmer. Once it starts simmering, remove from heat, add flour and stir right away until the mixture turns into a dough ball. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs to dough one at a time and mix until incorporated into the dough.
- Put dough in a pastry bag with a large tip and pipe small rounds of dough on baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart (it should make about 20 pieces).
- Bake cream puffs for 10 minutes at 450F, then lower the temperature to 350F and bake for 15 more minutes. Remove the puffs from the oven and let cool completely.
- While the puffs cool, make the filling. Put heavy cream with a bowl and whip with a mixer until thick. Add powdered sugar and mix until combined.
- Split each cream puff in half using serrated knife and put a scoop of whipped cream inside the bottom half, then put the top half back. Sprinkle with more powdered sugar if desired.
