1
Preheat oven to 400F
-
2
Put the water, Butter, Granulated sugar and salt into a medium saucepan over med high heat, cover and bring to a boil.
-
3
When it starts to boil well, remove from heat and dump in the cup of flour all at once, stirring it in with a wooden spoon.
-
4
You are just going to incorperate the flour, just until the flour is all mixed in.
-
5
then you will return to medium low heat and stir constantly for about 30 seconds or untill the dough starts forming a lump and not sticking to the pan.
-
6
( I have found that wooden spoons work best.
-
7
I have tried forks, wisks, and even a kitchen aid mixer.
-
8
the only puff that ever turns out right for me is when I stir it by hand with a wooden spoon.)
-
9
Drop the dough out of the saucepan and into a med to large heavy mixing bowl you need to spread the dough out a little and let it cool for about 2-3 min.
-
10
before you add the eggs.
-
11
if you add to soon, you will cook the eggs.
-
12
( I say heavy because you are now going to stir that dough with your wooden spoon like never before and it just seems easier in a heavy bowl )
-
13
After the 2-3 min cooling time, add 1 egg at a time, mixing, stirring, mixing with your wooden spoon like its a contest and the winner worked the hardest.
-
14
You want to mix in each egg untill it is really well mixed in.
-
15
it will look like something is wrong at first because it dosent seem like the eggs are actually mixing into the dough, but thats good.
-
16
Keep stirring.
-
17
after the 3rd egg is completly stirred in, you will have a thick but smooth and slightly sticky dough.
-
18
Either drop by tablespoons onto a lighlty oiled baking sheet, or a cookie sheet.
-
19
Or use a pastry bag to make tiny little kiss shape drops.
-
20
this will make a LOT of little drops and will take a little time so you need to move a little quickly so the dough doesn't start to get all flat and saggy looking.
-
21
Brush lightly with the heavy cream and sprinkle with the pearl sugar and or the powder sugar.
-
22
It all depends on how sweet you like it.
-
23
You can also place 2 or 3 tiny chocolate drops onto each one.
-
24
Bake at 400F for 10 min, then turn down the oven to 350F and bake for another 25-30 min.
-
25
You want to see them puffed up and golden brown and the outsides hard to the touch, if you take out to soon, they will fall.
-
26
Take out and place on a cooling rack.
-
27
You can add more powder sugar at this point or drizzle some chocolate syrup over or just eat as is, warm and soft.
-
28
Enjoy!
