Preparation Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, remove from heat and quickly stir in flour until the mixture forms a ball.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffy. Allow to cool.
Whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Cut a small hole at the bottom of each puff and fill with whipped cream.
