Cream Puff Ingredients
Method
Cream Puff Directions
- 1
Prepare the Choux Pastry
Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is smooth and glossy.
- 2
Pipe the Cream Puffs
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip, pipe small mounds of dough (about 1.5 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each puff.
- 3
Bake the Puffs
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and have risen. Do not open the oven during baking. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- 4
Prepare the Cream Filling
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- 5
Fill the Cream Puffs
Once the puffs are cool, cut a small slit in the side of each puff and pipe or spoon in the whipped cream filling.
- 6
Serve
Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired and serve immediately.
