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 |

I love cream puffs! I would like to order one dozen and will be able to pick them up at 2:08 p.m. on April 28th. They look perfecto!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, I made a mistake. Could you please increase my order to 24? Do you accept credit cards or checks? I would be happy to make a deposit!
ReplyDeleteYou girls (my daughter included) are really tempting me - a lot - with all these good eats. Sure wished I was there, I would have totally broke my diet. Cook on! Jeanette
ReplyDeleteDid you take the biggest puff and put the smallest dollop of chocolate in it? So whoever was greediest and picked the biggest one lost out?
ReplyDeleteA life lesson in a cream puff. Past on by my mom circa 1962.
Of all the recipes that I have seen posted on a variety of sites, the two that interest me the most is your "cream puffs" and your sister-in- laws "sopahpia's" (sic)our course your sisters and your cinnamon rolls are to die for as well. Did I mention, that I am going to be staying in something similar to a hotel in LA but much more expensive for 4-5 days which has a very bad reputation in the quality of food?
