Cream puffs, or *profiteroles*, are delicate, airy pastries filled with creamy goodness. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.
Ingredients:
For the choux pastry: 1 cup water, ½ cup unsalted butter, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 4 large eggs, ¼ tsp salt, 1 tbsp sugar.
For the cream filling: 1 ½ cups heavy cream, ¼ cup powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Instructions:
1. Make the pastry: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a saucepan, bring water, butter, salt, and sugar to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in flour until a dough forms. Cool slightly, then beat in eggs one at a time until smooth.
2. Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden. Turn off heat, let them dry in the oven for 5 minutes to prevent deflating. Cool completely.
3. Prepare the cream: Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
4. Assemble: Cut puffs in half, fill with cream using a piping bag, and dust with powdered sugar.
Serve fresh for best texture! Enjoy these light, decadent treats with tea or coffee.
