Lemon Cream Puffs image

These lovely treats are in my Feb/March 2004 TOH issue. They are delicious. I found when I made them that I wanted the filling a but more tart, so I added an extra 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 c water
1/4 c butter, cubed
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
LEMON FILLING
1 egg, beaten
1/3 c sugar
3 - 3 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp butter, cubed
1 - 1 1/4 c heavy whipping cream
2 tsp sugar
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt all at once, stirring until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth.
  • 2. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Immediately split puffs and remove tops; discard soft dough from inside. Set puffs and tops aside to cool.
  • 3. For filling, in a small heavy saucepan, combine the egg, sugar, lemon juice and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate until partially set. In a large bowl, beat cream and sugar until stiff peaks form; fold into lemon mixture. Fill cream puffs; replace tops. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

I'm not a fan of lemon desserts, but these cream puffs were surprisingly good. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

The shells were a bit dry, but the filling was delicious. I'll try again and see if I can get the shells to be more moist.

I had a little trouble getting the shells to rise, but the cream puffs still turned out delicious. I'll try again next time and see if I can get them to rise more.
