Number Of Ingredients 5

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine butter, sugar, salt and 1 cup water over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, quickly stir in flour until combined.
  • Return pan to medium-high heat and cook, stirring vigorously, until mixture pulls away from the sides and a film forms on the bottom of the pan, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer contents to a bowl to cool slightly, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring vigorously until incorporated between each addition. Use immediately.

I've also made these puffs into profiteroles. Just fill them with whipped cream and chocolate sauce, and you're good to go.

These puffs are also great for making ice cream sandwiches. Just scoop some ice cream between two puffs and enjoy!

I like to serve these puffs with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh berry on top.

I love to dust the puffs with powdered sugar before serving. It gives them a nice, elegant look.

These puffs are a bit delicate, so be careful not to overfill them. Otherwise, they might burst in the oven.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I loved these pate a choux puffs. The pastry was light and flaky, and the filling was just the right amount of sweetness. I would definitely make these again, even if I had to use a different filling.
