DESSERTS ON A DIME
Prep Time: 20 MIN
COOK Time: 5 MINS
– Water – Unsalted Butter – Salt – Granulated Sugar – All-purpose Flour – Eggs
Bring butter, salt, sugar and water to a boil and remove from heat. Add the flour with a wooden spoon to the the mixture and stir.
Once this is mixed together, put the pan back on the stove and continue cooking. Stir this constantly until a film forms on the bottom of the pan
Next, add the eggs once the mixture has cooled completely. Put the pastry dough mixture inside a piping bag.
Use a large round tip and pipe circles on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Each circle should be 2 inches in diameter.
Brush each cream puff with a little egg wash. Bake until the puffs rise and turn golden brown and let them cool
Add the pastry cream to the bowl and beat until you see soft peaks. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until stiff peaks form
Lastly, add the filling to the pastry bag with a tip. I prefer to cut the top off and fill and then replace the top.
