Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Preheat Oven
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare Pastry Dough
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil. Add 1 cup flour all at once, stirring vigorously until the mixture forms a ball.
Cook Dough
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dough cool slightly. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Shape Puffs
Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
Make Custard Filling
In a saucepan, heat 2 cups of milk over medium heat until it just begins to boil. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 2 egg yolks. Gradually whisk in the hot milk.
Thicken Custard
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Fill Cream Puffs
Once the puffs have cooled, slice them open and fill them with the custard.
Serve
Serve the cream puffs immediately or chill them in the refrigerator before serving.
