Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- 2. In a small nonstick saucepan, bring water, margarine, and salt to a boil. When margarine melts, add flour all at once, stirring rapidly. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until a ball of dough that detaches easily from the pot forms. Set aside and let cool for 10 minutes.
- 3. In the meantime, make the cream filling by beating the parve whipping cream until it forms peaks. Add the powdered sugar and mixing well. Store in a cool place until ready to use.
- 4. Transfer cooled dough to the bowl of stand mixer fitted with a flat paddle attachment. Add eggs, one by one, making sure each egg has completely incorporated into the dough before adding the next.
- 5. Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large star pastry tip (Wilton 4B is perfect) or simply use an ice cream scoop to form puffs. Form meringue-like mounds, 3" in diameter and 2" in height, directly on the prepared pans.
- 6. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown; transfer puffs to a cooling rack.
- 7. When the puffs are completely cooled, cut in half, using a serrated knife, and fill the cavity with whipped cream.
- 8. Optional: To make the syrup, mix all ingredients in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Drizzle cooled syrup on cream puffs right before serving. Can also be served with a drizzle of melted chocolate or sprinkled with powered sugar.

- Tricks of the trade If you lack a pastry bag and pastry tip you can use a storage-size zipper-top bag and cut off one corner with scissors, or use an ice cream scoop to shape. Keep in mind: It is important there are no cold drafts in your kitchen when you make these or they will deflate when taken out of the oven. Once cooked, these freeze beautifully.

Tips:
- To make the choux pastry, use cold water and butter. This will help the pastry to rise and create a light and airy texture.
- When piping the choux pastry, make sure to hold the pastry bag perpendicular to the baking sheet. This will help to create uniform éclairs.
- Bake the éclairs in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they rise evenly.
- Do not open the oven door during baking. This can cause the éclairs to fall.
- Once the éclairs are baked, let them cool completely before filling them.
- To make the filling, use cold heavy cream. This will help the filling to whip up light and fluffy.
- Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream gradually. This will help to prevent the filling from becoming too sweet or grainy.
- When filling the éclairs, use a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. This will help to create a decorative filling.

Persian cream puffs, also known as nooneh chamei, are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
