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.


Cut off top third of each puff and pull out any strands of soft dough**. Fill puffs with filling; replace tops. Sprinkle with powdered sugar***. Cover; refrigerate until serving. Store covered in refrigerator.



*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
