Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet or baking stone with a silicone liner or parchment paper.
- Place water, butter, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is melted and dissolved, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add flour all at once and cook, stirring vigorously, until a ball of dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan, 15 to 30 seconds.
- Transfer dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Let cool, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating on medium-low speed after each addition, until batter is smooth and shiny, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe the batter into 2-inch mounds by squeezing close to the sheet and slowly pulling up.
- Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until puffy, about 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until shells are crispy and set, 13 to 15 minutes more.
- Place goat cheese, dill, and salt in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Mix until filling is creamy and smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Pipe filling into the bottom of each shell until filled.

CREAM PUFFS SAVORY
This is another recipe that I have tweaked over the years to get them just right. These puffs are savory, not sweet. There is no cream in them, so maybe cream puff is the wrong word for these delectable nibbles! Perhaps Vol-au-vents is a better descriptor, but whatever you call them, you can be sure they will be gone fast! What...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium saucepan, melt butter and be careful not to burn. Add salt and beer and bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
- 2. Add the flour all at once, and stir stir stir until it forms a ball and flour is completely mixed in. I have found that the Kitchen aid works well for this recipe using the plastic coated paddle. A wooden spoon can also be used.
- 3. Using a plastic paddle or wooden spoon, add one egg at a time beating until it is completely mixed in. Add one egg at a time and mix very well each time. (good work out if you are using the wooden spoon!) The dough will appear to be kind of sticky, but it is fine.
- 4. Using a teaspoon, drop a teaspoon of the dough onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. These lil guys grow so give them 3 inches apart when dropping them onto your baking sheets.
- 5. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, until golden brown. Cool completely. Cut each top almost all the way off, leaving a small "hinge" to hold it together.
- 6. These freeze well! Make up a batch to have on hand, unfilled. Then de-thaw them and fill them with your favorite spreads or anything savory that you like. If frozen, de-thaw them completely before stuffing.
- 7. A favorite of mine, is an artichoke spread which I will post as well. This spread is awesome with these puffs. It is also great just on crackers or as a dip.
- 8. My Artichoke filling can be found here: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/appetizer/appetizer-vegetable-appetizer/artichoke-spread-filling-dip.html?co=a&cpage=1&drawer=notification-1&t=1386898813#comment1393812
Tips:
- The choux pastry is the key to successful cream puffs. Be sure to cook the dough until it forms a smooth, shiny ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This will ensure that the pastry is cooked through and will not be gummy.
- For a lighter and more delicate cream puff, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the dough from spreading too much in the oven.
- When filling the cream puffs, be sure to use a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. This will help to create a beautiful and even filling.
- If you are making the cream puffs ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you are ready to serve, simply reheat them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
Conclusion:
Cream puffs are a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Whether you are making them for a special occasion or just for a simple treat, these tips will help you to create perfect cream puffs every time.
