How to make super easy puffs with 5 ingredients ?

Preheat oven 425 degrees F (218 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.

Combine the water, butter, and salt in a small saucepan and heat over the heat until the butter is completely melted.

Pour in all the flour at once, stirring vigorously until a ball of dough forms, and continue to heat over medium-low heat for 1,2 minutes, turn off the heat.

If you're mixing by hand, let the dough cool for 5 minutes, then add the eggs in batches, mixing each one with the dough before adding the next. With a chef's machine, use the batter-shaped head to mix the dough until you can't see any hot air coming out, also egg by egg, mixing until smooth.

Put the batter into a laminating bag and, using a round flower nozzle, squeeze out circles about 4 centimeters in diameter, spacing each small dough ball 3 or 4 centimeters apart. You can also use a spoon to scoop a small dough directly.

Tips

1, Squeeze the dough with a laminating bag, it will leave a small tip on the top, use your fingertip to dab it with water and it will be gone.

2, do not open the oven door when baking the puffs, or the puffs will easily collapse and shrink back.

3, the puffs without cream can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days, and frozen for longer.

4, if you don't put the filling immediately, take a toothpick and poke a few holes in the puffs to let the heat out and prevent the interior from becoming soggy and sticky.
