📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make the puffs:
2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring water, butter and salt to boil. Remove from heat, add flour, and stir constantly until a smooth ball forms.

Let stand for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.

4
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or large portion scoop, drop 5 balls of dough on to each baking sheet, four towards the corners and one in the middle but at least 3 inches apart (I use the OXO large cookie scoop, a size 20 portioner, and do heaping scoops).
5
To make the egg wash, whisk together egg yolk and milk. Brush lightly over puffs. Bake ⏱️ 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Immediately cut a slit in each for steam to escape. Cool completely.

To assemble the puffs:

While the puffs are cooling, chill a metal mixing bowl and metal whisk in freezer for 10 to ⏱️ 15 minutes.
8
Combine cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla in chilled mixing bowl and beat until stiff peaks form, about 6 to ⏱️ 8 minutes.

Split cream puffs and discard soft dough from inside. Fill the cream puffs just before serving. Dust with powdered sugar.
