Cream Puffs !!!

For the dough you will need :
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of water
85 grams of unsalted butter
1 tsp sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs

For the cream you will need :
1 cup heavy or whipping cream
2 tbp powder sugar
1/2 tbs vanilla extract

HOW TO MAKE IT :
1. put the water, the milk and the butter in a pan on medium heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the butter melts
2. mix all the dry ingredients together and slowly sprinkle them into the liquid mixture
3. keep stirring as the flour will be absorbing the liquids and making a nice shiny pastry
4. take off heat and keep stirring until the dough becomes lukewarm
5. one by one start adding the eggs. you must add the next egg only when the previous one has been absorbed.
6. put the dough in pastry bag and shape your puffs on a baking sheet

tip : keep the bag half inch over the paper and squeeze untill you have a nice round piece of dough aproximately 2 inches high

7. bake in 230 c for 10 minutes and then in 190 for another 15 minutes.


now while the puffs are being baked, lets use the time to make the chantilly cream

put all the cream ingredients in a bowl and start whipping untill it thickens and gets a nice smooth creamy consistency. it should take about 2 minutes only :)

when the puffs are ready , let them cool down a little bit and at their bottom make a hole where you ll squeeze in the cream through the pastry bag.

place on a nice big plate and sprinkle them with powdered sugar

bon appétit
