Cream Puffs

Cream Puffs

Ingredients:

4 eggs

1/2 cup unsalted butter {If using salted butter, omit the salt on this recipe}

pinch of salt

1 cup flour

1 cup water

Directions:

 In a large pot, bring water and butter to a boil. Stir flour and salt and mix until it forms a ball.

Transfer the dough to a large bowl, and mix using wooden spoon or a stand mixer, add eggs one at a time until incorporated well and smooth in texture.

Drop dough mixture in spoonful and bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 mins.

This is how it should look after mixing it.

Drop dough mixture using an ice cream scoop or a spoon. Don't make the dough too big as it expands during cooking. Make sure to use a parchment paper on top of your pan, otherwise the mixture will stick.

{Poke holes on the puff pastry to release the steam inside and transfer to a wire rack to cool. This is important to do, so the pastry doesn't deflate while cooling}.

Perfect cream puff! hollowed in the middle and crunchy on the outside.

Add whatever cream filling you prepared.

This is easy to make and way better than the store bought ones. This recipe freezes well.
