Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, combine the water and butter over medium heat until the butter melts.
- Once the butter is melted, add the flour and salt all at once, stirring vigorously for about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let it cool for a minute. Gradually add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe 1-inch rounds onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed. Do not open the oven door during baking.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on a rack.
- Whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla, then fill the puffs using a piping bag.
Notes
For extra crispy puffs, leave the oven door slightly ajar for the last 5 minutes of baking. Fill just before serving for best texture.
