Cream Puffs Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Once boiling, add flour and salt, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Incorporate Eggs

   Add eggs one at a time to the dough, mixing well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

3. 3

   Bake the Puffs

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Let cool completely.

4. 4

   Make the Filling

   In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. For matcha filling, fold in matcha powder to half of the whipped cream.

5. 5

   Fill the Puffs

   Once the puffs are cooled, cut a small slit in each to allow steam to escape. Use a piping bag to fill half with vanilla cream and half with matcha cream.
