Provided by WaffleCrumbs

Number Of Ingredients 16

Cream Filling:
6 large egg yolks
1 large egg
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Puffs:
1/2 cup (one stick) butter
1 cup water
1 cup flour
4 eggs
powdered sugar
melted chocolate

Steps:

  • Pastry Cream: Prepare an ice bath; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine egg yolks, egg, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Add cornstarch and flour; whisk until smooth and pale yellow. Set aside. In a medium saucepan, combine milk and remaining 3/4 cup sugar. Stir over medium-high heat until milk begins to steam. Whisking constantly, add half the hot milk to the egg-yolk mixture. Stir until smooth; add combined mixture back to remaining hot milk in the pan. Bring mixture to a boil, whisking rapidly to prevent scorching. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and vanilla. Strain through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. Place over ice bath and let stand, stirring frequently, until cool. Remove from ice bath, and press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto surface until ready to use. If not using immediately, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Puffs: Preheat oven to 375 degrees Melt stick of butter and water to a rolling boil Stir in flour and stir vigorously over low heat until mixture leaves the pan (comes off the sides) and is in a ball (about 1 minute) Remove from heat and cool for a couple of minutes Beat in eggs (one at a time) with a mixer Beat mixture until smooth and velveety Drop by spoonfuls (walnut sized) onto ungreased cookie sheet Bake until DRY, 20-25 minutes (maybe longer) Allow to cool Fill puffs with cream, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate or both! Enjoy!

The cream puffs didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The dough was too dry and the filling was too runny.
