🥐 How To Make Sweet And Flaky Cream Puffs – Light, Golden & Filled with Dreamy Cream 🍨✨

Steps

1. Preheat the oven

Set the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make the choux pastry

In a saucepan, bring water, butter, and salt to a boil. Remove from heat, add flour, and stir quickly until the mixture forms a ball. Return to low heat for 1–2 minutes to dry slightly.

3. Add eggs

Transfer the dough to a bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time until smooth and glossy.

4. Pipe or spoon onto baking sheet

Use a piping bag or spoon to place small mounds of dough onto the prepared sheet, spacing them apart.

5. Bake until golden

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

6. Prepare the cream filling

Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

7. Fill the puffs

Slice the tops of the cooled puffs and fill with whipped cream. Replace the tops, dust with powdered sugar, or drizzle with chocolate if desired.

8. Serve and enjoy

Serve immediately for the freshest, fluffiest cream puffs — a dreamy bite every time.
