How to Make I Can T Believe I Made Cream Puffs

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, bring the water, butter, and salt to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
3. Remove from heat and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
4. Let the dough cool slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated. The batter should be smooth and glossy.
6. Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (or use two spoons to drop mounds onto the baking sheet).
7. Pipe 2-inch mounds onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each puff.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up. Do not open the oven door during baking!
9. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 10-15 minutes until the puffs are completely dry and hollow-sounding when tapped on the bottom.
10. Remove from oven and pierce the side of each puff with a sharp knife or toothpick to allow steam to escape. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
11. While the puffs cool, prepare your favorite pastry cream or whipped cream filling. (Recipe not included, but many are available online!)
12. Once cooled, fill the puffs with your desired cream filling. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
