Time 1h40m

Yield 2 dozen, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 eggs
1 egg white
2 cups whipping cream
4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons apricots (optional) or 2 teaspoons peach brandy (optional)
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • Combine water and butter in a heavy saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook until butter is melted and water comes to a boil.
  • Add all the flour and salt.
  • Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture is smooth and leaves side of pan, forming a ball.
  • Turn off heat and add first egg. Beat until well mixed. (You can use an electric mixer to beat in eggs.
  • Continue adding eggs, one at a time, beating well after the addition of each egg.
  • Add the egg white last.
  • Beat until smooth.
  • Cover lightly and let stand until cool.
  • Spoon pastry into icing bag with a 1-inch plain piping tube attached and pipe into large puffs on a lightly-greased baking sheet. Do not place too close together.
  • Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 8 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 45 minutes longer or until dry.
  • Do not under cook or they will "fall" and be unrecoverable.
  • As soon as the puffs have been removed from the oven, make a slit in the side of each.
  • Let cool thoroughly on wire racks.
  • Filling: Whip the cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Add confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating gently. Add the brandy, a small amount at a time. Fold in the egg white gently, but thoroughly.
  • Make a small hole in the side of each puff with the tip of a small knife.
  • Pipe whipped cream into each puff.
  • Dust generously with confectioners' sugar.
