Instructions
- In a pan add water and butter and heat gently till the butter melts.
- Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Tip in all the flour in one shot.
- Beat the ingredients with a wooden spoon till the mixture leaves sides and comes together into one ball. It should be bit stiff. Leave it to cool.
- Preheat the oven at 220-degree C.
- Add the eggs to the mixture little by little and mix with an electric whisk until the mixture is thick and glossy.
- Lay the baking sheet on a tray and lightly sprinkle water over it.
- With the help of a spoon place small walnut sized portions of mixture on the baking sheet. Leave gaps in between in case they spread.
- Bake for 30 minutes until they are golden brown and risen well.
- Remove from the oven and gently lift them and place it on a rack.
- Make holes in each (I used the tip of my pastry brush to do this). Keep aside.
- For the filling whip the cream in a bow till stiff and makes soft peaks.
- Put the cream in a piping bag fitted with a plain or star nozzle.
- Push the nozzle into hole of each puff and squirt a little cream inside.
- Mix icing sugar, cocoa powder and water and mix well.
- Drizzle this chocolate mixture over the prepared cream puffs and serve immediately.
