Ingredients
-
1/4 cup butter
-
1/2 cup water
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
2 large eggs
-
VANILLA FILLING:
-
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
-
1-3/4 cups 2% milk
-
1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
-
Confectioners' sugar
Directions
-
1.
Preheat oven to 400°. In a small saucepan, bring water and butter to a rolling boil over medium heat. Add flour and salt all at once; beat until blended. Cook, stirring vigorously, until a film forms at the bottom of the pan, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes.
-
2.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny. Drop dough by 1-in. balls 1-1/2 in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until puffed, very firm and golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
-
3.
Meanwhile, whisk together pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes or until thickened; let stand 5 minutes. Fold in whipped topping. Cut puffs in half. Fill cream puffs with vanilla filling; replace tops. Dust with confectioners' sugar; serve immediately.
