Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Pastry
In a saucepan, bring the water, butter, and vanilla to a boil.
Add the flour all at once and stir constantly until it forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pot.
Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Step 2: Adding the Eggs
Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 3: Baking
Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets (about 8 generous portions).
Bake at 400°F for approximately 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 4: Cooling
Once baked, insert a toothpick into each puff to let out steam.
Turn off the oven and crack the door open slightly.
Let them cool in the oven to prevent collapsing.
Step 5: Filling the Puffs
When cooled, slice each cream puff in half.
Using a piping bag or spoon, fill generously with MOM’S FAMOUS FILLING.
Optional Finish:
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra sweetness.
Tips for Perfect Cream Puffs
Use room temperature eggs for easier blending.
Don’t open the oven door while baking—wait until the end to keep them from deflating.
Let them cool slowly in the oven to preserve puffiness.
Chill the filling slightly before piping for best results.
Enjoy your homemade Mom’s Famous Cream Puffs—a perfect treat for any celebration or sweet craving!
