Ingredients

1 cup water

½ cup (1 stick) butter

1 cup all-purpose flour

4 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 large box instant vanilla pudding made according to package instructions

1 cup whipping cream

2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar

Directions

In a medium saucepan, bring water and butter to boiling. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat. Add eggs; beat with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Drop batter by mounded tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Cut off tops and remove any soft dough inside.
For filling, add vanilla to prepared pudding and stir until combined. In a mixer bowl beat whipping cream and confectioners’ sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold into vanilla pudding. Cover with plastic wrap and chill.
Spoon 3 tablespoons filling into each cream puff and replace top. Dust with confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to one hour before serving.
