1 cup | 237ml | Water |
1/2 cup | 99g / 3.5oz | Unsalted butter |
1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Flour |
4 | Eggs - at room temperature | |
Cream Filling | ||
2 cups | 474ml | Milk |

3 tablespoons | 45ml | Cornstarch |
3 | Egg yolks | |
1 teaspoon | 5ml | Vanilla |
Preheat oven to 425.
Boil water and butter. Stir in the flour all at once and stir by hand until mixture forms a ball and doesn't stick to the sides of the pot.
Remove pot from the heat. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition (this part may be done in the food processor).
Drop from a spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 40 minutes. Slice in half, remove part of center, and fill with cream filling.
Cook all but the vanilla until thick, over medium heat. Add vanilla when the mixture has cooled.
