step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).

step 2

Into a pot, add Water (1/2 cup) and Unsalted Butter (4 Tbsp). Heat until butter is melted, but do not bring to a boil.

step 3

Into a mixing bowl, add All-Purpose Flour (1/2 cup), Granulated Sugar (as needed), and Salt (as needed). Mix to combine, then add to the water and butter mixture. Stir over medium-high heat for 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

step 4

Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitter with a paddle attachment. Mix on low for 1 minute.

step 5

Slowly add in Eggs (2) while continuing to mix.

step 6

Transfer dough to a pastry bag.

step 7

Pipe puffs out onto a baking sheet. Dip your finger in water and press down on the top of each puff to prevent burning. Bake for 15 minutes.

step 8

Lower heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for another 35 minutes.

step 9

Cut each puff in half and fill with Whipped Cream (to taste). Replace the tops. They can also be filled with a savory filling if you don't want to use cream.

step 10

Dust with Powdered Confectioners Sugar (to taste). Serve and enjoy!
