Instructions
  1. In a pan add water and butter and heat gently till the butter melts.
  2. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. Tip in all the flour in one shot.
  4. 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.
  5. Preheat the oven at 220-degree C.
  6. Add the eggs to the mixture little by little and mix with an electric whisk until the mixture is thick and glossy.
  7. Lay the baking sheet on a tray and lightly sprinkle water over it.
  8. 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.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes until they are golden brown and risen well.
  10. Remove from the oven and gently lift them and place it on a rack.
  11. Make holes in each (I used the tip of my pastry brush to do this). Keep aside.
  12. For the filling whip the cream in a bow till stiff and makes soft peaks.
  13. Put the cream in a piping bag fitted with a plain or star nozzle.
  14. Push the nozzle into hole of each puff and squirt a little cream inside.
  15. Mix icing sugar, cocoa powder and water and mix well.
  16. Drizzle this chocolate mixture over the prepared cream puffs and serve immediately.
