- 1 cup water

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- 3 large eggs

Filling:

- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe 1-inch circles onto the prepared baking sheet.

6. Let puffs cool completely before filling.

7. In a medium bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

8. Fill a piping bag fitted with a small round tip with whipped cream.

9. Use a sharp knife to make a small slit in the side of each puff. Pipe whipped cream filling into the puffs.
