Recipe: Cream Puffs

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt, and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat, add flour, and stir until a smooth ball forms.
Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes, then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth.
Drop 5 balls of dough onto each baking sheet, spaced at least 3 inches apart.
Prepare the egg wash by whisking together the egg yolk and milk, then brush it over the puffs.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown, then cool on wire racks and cut slits for steam to escape.
Chill a mixing bowl and whisk, then combine cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla, beating until stiff peaks form.
Split the cooled puffs, fill with whipped cream, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
