Strawberry Cream Puffs
Sweet cream puffs packed with red berry power!
Equipment
- Piping bag
- Baking Sheet
- Baking paper
- Toothpick
- Sharp Knife
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup flour
- 4 eggs
- strawberries as many as you like
- whipped cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- First bring the butter, milk, water, sugar and salt to a boil.
- Turn down the heat and add the flour. Mix well. Leave the pot on the stove to cook for 1-2 minutes more. Then remove the pot and let cool for a moment.
- Stir the eggs into the mixture, one after the other.
- With the help of a piping bag, squeeze your pastry dough onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Now bake for 25-30 minutes at 350°F.
- In the meantime, add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream and mix well. Additionally, cut the strawberries into thin slices.
- Once removed from the oven, use a toothpick to pierce the bottom of the pastry puffs to let hot air escape. Let them cool for just a moment.
- Cut the puffs open with a sharp knife, being careful not to flatten them. Using another piping bag, add the whipped cream. Add a few slices of strawberry, perhaps another dollop of cream and then finally, the top of the puff.
