Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 units Large eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Heat over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the mixture starts to boil.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low, add the flour all at once, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together and forms a smooth ball. Cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

Remove the pan from the heat and let the dough cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Beat in eggs one at a time using an electric mixer or wooden spoon, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. The dough should be smooth, glossy, and slightly thick.

Step 6

Using a piping bag or two spoons, drop small mounds of dough (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the creampuffs are puffed up and golden brown. Do not open the oven during baking, as this may cause them to collapse.

Step 8

Once baked, remove from the oven and pierce a small slit into the side of each puff with a sharp knife to allow steam to escape. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 9

To make the filling, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.

Step 10

Slice the cooled creampuffs in half or create a small hole in the bottom of each puff. Pipe or spoon the whipped cream into the centers.

Step 11

Dust the finished creampuffs with powdered sugar and serve immediately or store them in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
