EASY MINI STRAWBERRY CREAM PUFFS
A perfect Valentine's Day treat! You'll need to put a bit of muscle into beating the dough, but just think of it as pre-burning calories. Once you taste these, it's really hard to stop at one. Delicious! Also great filled with ice cream and dipped in chocolate. These freeze well.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a mixing bowl in the freezer.
- Combine water, butter, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and immediately add flour; quickly beat in the flour with a wooden spoon, alternating between pressing on the dough and beating it quickly. Continue until dough has formed a ball and no longer sticks to the side of the pan.
- Add 1 egg, and using the same technique above, beat it in until dough has reached a smooth consistency. Repeat with the second egg. Beat until dough begins to break into strands, about 5 more minutes.
- Divide dough into 12 pieces. Round each piece and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up and browned, about 20 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, pour cold cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Add white sugar and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Slice across the tops of the cooled cream puffs just enough to open; they will be hollow inside. Put a heaping tablespoon whipped cream in the top and bottom cavities. Put a strawberry in the middle and close the two halves. Set on a plate and dust with powdered sugar.

Tips for Making Strawberry Puff Pillows:
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- If you don't have a kitchen scale, you can use measuring cups instead. Just be sure to level off the ingredients before measuring.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. If the dough is too thick, it will be difficult to cut into shapes.
- Use a sharp knife to cut out the dough circles. A dull knife will tear the dough.
- Bake the puff pillows at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help them to rise and become crispy.
- Let the puff pillows cool completely before filling them with the strawberry mixture.
- Enjoy the strawberry puff pillows fresh out of the oven!
Conclusion:
Strawberry puff pillows are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy strawberry filling. These pillows are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
