Every year I host a Mother’s Day Tea in my first grade classroom. Of course, my mom always joins us and it has become tradition for her to make these amazing cream puffs. There are no other cream puffs that even come close to my mom’s! Enjoy!
BEST RECIPE EVER!! FROM MY MOM XO
STEP ONE: MAKE PROFITEROLES & SLICE IN HALF-I ONLY USED THE BOTTOMS. RESERVE TOPS FOR CREAM PUFFS! MMMMM!
In a pot bring the following to a boil:
1 stick butter
1 cup water
Add: 1 tsp vanilla
1c flour
Stir constantly until it leaves the side of the pot and forms a ball. Remove and cool. Beat in 4 eggs, one at a time until smooth. Drop by T. onto parchment lined cookie sheets and bake at 400 degrees for about 35-40 minutes.
FILL WITH WHIPPED CREAM OR A CUSTARD CREAM
MOM’S FAMOUS FILLING:
BEAT UNTIL CREAM:
1 PINT HEAVY CREAM
1 PACKAGE INSTANT VANILLA PUDDING
1/3 CUP MILK

Thank you,

DANIELLE says
fancy word for cream puff shell!
Toni Christopher says
do you need self rising flour?? I have tried making the puffs. But mine are just flat. So is it the flour? or that I didn’t cook it long enough?? help me, my hubby wants these bad!! :0
danielle says
No, use regular flour. How long did you bake them?
Toni Christopher says
25 min. and they was burnt & flat. So I guess I didn’t cook them long enough! Thank You Hon!
danielle says
Hmm, burnt at 25 mins does not sound right-sure oven temp is correct?
Marilyn says
What size instant vanilla pudding?
and are you saying just mix/beat all of the filling ingredients together and use immediately or chill until somewhat firm or thickened?
When puffs are cooked, do you break in half immediately and pull the doughy parts from the center so you end up with more of a hollow area for the filling?
Not sure what you mean about using only the tops for the cream filling. Are you saying use two tops to hold the filling?

The smaller box-I think 3.4 ounces, beat filling and use immediately.
U will not need to hollow them out-wont be doughy parts. Fill half of each puff.
Dana says
Ffhow many puffs do you get from this recipe?
Hugs & Cookies xoxo says
approx 10 depending on size
Carol says
How long should you beat the filling?
Bonnie Butler says
Can’t wait try making these.
