Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a saucepan, combine water and butter. Heat until boiling.
Stir in the flour all at once, mixing until the dough forms a ball.
Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
While cooling, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
Slice the cooled puffs in half and fill with whipped cream.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate until serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce over the filled puffs before serving.
