Puffs | |
1 | cup water |
1/2 | cup butter or margarine |
1 | cup all-purpose flour |
4 | eggs |
Fluff Filling | |
2 | cups whipping cream |
1/4 | cup granulated or powdered sugar |
1 | teaspoon Vallette’s Vanilla extract |

| Heat oven to 400ºF. In 2 1/2-quart saucepan, heat water and butter to rolling boil. Stir in flour; reduce heat to low. Stir vigorously over low heat about 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball; remove from heat. Beat in eggs, all at once; continue beating until smooth. |
| On ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by slightly less than 1/4 cupfuls about 3 inches apart. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool away from draft, about 30 minutes. |
| Fluff Filling: In large bowl, beat whipping cream, sugar and vanilla; beat on high speed 1 to 2 minutes or until soft peaks form*. Fill puffs. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 3 hours.
*I whipped the cream a little longer and it thickened up nicely into more of a custard or ice cream texture. ** I didn’t remove any of the insides, the puffs puffed nicely. ***I topped with a chocolate sauce, made of semisweet chocolate chips and chocolate syrup |
