If you've always wanted to make bakery-style cream puffs at home, this step-by-step recipe is simple to follow and gives perfect results every time. Ingredients 4 Eggs 130 g All-Purpose Flour 100 g Unsalted Butter 250 ml Water 1 tbsp Sugar 1 pinch Salt ½ tsp Vanilla Extract Instructions Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). In a saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Bring the mixture to a boil. Add the flour all at once and stir continuously until a smooth dough forms. Cook the dough for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly to remove excess moisture. Transfer the dough to a bowl and let it cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth and glossy. Pipe the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake at 200°C for the first 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 180°C and continue baking for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the cream puffs cool completely before filling them with whipped cream or pastry cream.
