Classic Cream Puffs with Honey Drizzle
Ingredients
For the Choux Pastry:
1 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
4 large eggs
For the Cream Filling:
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
For Garnish:
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Honey, for drizzling
Directions
Make the Choux Pastry:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, bring water, butter, and salt to a boil. Remove from heat, add the flour, and stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms.
Return the pan to low heat and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the dough pulls away from the sides.
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for 2–3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy.
Bake the Puffs:
Spoon or pipe the dough into small mounds (about 1 1/2 inches wide) onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and puffed. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and allow the puffs to cool slightly.
Prepare the Filling:
Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until soft peaks form.
Assemble the Cream Puffs:
Once cooled, slice the cream puffs in half and pipe or spoon the whipped cream into the centers.
Garnish & Serve:
Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle lightly with honey for an irresistible finishing touch. Serve immediately!
