Cool and Add Eggs:
Let the dough cool for about 5 minutes. Add the baking powder and salt, then beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a spoon or piping bag, place small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and firm. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Bake the Puffs:
Prepare the Cream Filling:
Heat the Milk:
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
Mix the Eggs and Sugar:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well combined. Gradually add the flour, mixing until smooth.
Combine and Cook:
Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Add Butter:
Once the mixture has cooled, beat in the butter until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Cream Puffs:
Fill the Puffs:
Slice each puff in half and fill with the prepared cream using a spoon or piping bag.
Serve:
Arrange the filled cream puffs on a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy your meal!
