I was just finishing reading my e-mail and I stumbled upon this. I have always wanted to know how to make these! This recipe is from Yahoo!FOOD. Great recipe! Easy to make! Ingredients:
1 cup water |
1/2 cup butter, 1 sticks (unsalted would be great) |
1/4 teaspoon salt (if using salted butter use less than this) |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
4 eggs |
2 tablespoons milk |
1 egg yolk, slightly beaten |
2 cups heavy whipping cream |
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar (powdered sugar) |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
additional confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring the water, butter and salt to a boil, over medium heat.
2. Once boiling, add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Make sure you get all the flour clumps out.
3. Remove from heat; let it stand for 5 minutes.
4. Once this has cooled for 5 minutes, add eggs, one at a time, beating well with mixer after each addition. Continue beating minxture until smooth and shiny.
5. Get an ice cream scooper and grease it lightly with cooking spray.
6. Drop about 1/4 cupfuls 3 inches apart onto a greased baking sheet.
7. Combine milk and egg yolk, and brush very nicely over the puff. Don't worry if the egg mixture fell over a little.
8. Bake at 400 degrees F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Cool on cooling rack and slit each puff so the steam can escape.
10. Let them cool compltely.
11. In a chilled large mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with a mixer on high until it begins to thicken. Add sugar and vanilla. Mix on high until cream is almost stiff.
12. Split cream puff; discard any soft dough from inside.
13. Fill the cream in cooled puffs just before serving.
14. Dust the top with confectioner's sugar. Refrigerate leftovers. Makes 10 servings!
