Cream Puffs

yield: 36 small scoop cream puffs

4 oz butter
1 c water
1 tbsp sugar
5 oz flour
4 eggs, room temp

Preheat oven to 375F.

In a 4 qt saucepan, bring the butter, water and sugar to a boil. Once it boils, add the flour all at once and stir briskly to incorporate. The mixture will form a smooth ball. This part shouldn't take more than a minute.

Take the pan off the heat, let the mixture cool about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Put the mixture in a stand mixer and add the eggs one at a time, thoroughly combining before adding the next one.

Use an Oxo 60 2 tsp ice cream scoop to place the dough about 2-inches apart on the silpat lined cookies sheet (will take more than one sheet).

Cook for 22 min. Take out of the oven and use a skewer to poke a couple holes in each one to let steam escape. Return to the oven and cook for 5 more minutes. Take out, let cool, fill and dust with powdered sugar.
