3. Ingredients:
 1/2 cup of water (120ml)
 1/4 cup of unsalted butter (55g)
 1/4 tsp. of salt (1.5g)
 1/2 cup of flour (60g)
 2 eggs
Sweetened Whipped Cream:
 1 cup of heavy whipping cream (240ml)
 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract (3ml)
 2 Tbsp. of granulated sugar (25g)

 Pot
 Wooden spoon
 Pastry bag and round tip or plastic bag
 Baking sheet
 Silicone baking mat or parchment paper
 Spoon
 Knife
 Glass
 Hand mixer

5. Step 1:
Add, stir, & boil
• Preheat the oven to 400
degrees F. (204 C).
• Turn on the stove top to
medium heat, then add our
water, butter, and salt to a pot.
(if your butter is not unsalted, then, you
don’t have to add salt)
• Stir occasionally until the
mixture starts to boil. And then
remove the pot from the heat.

6. Step 2:
Add and stir
• Add the flour all at
once and stir until a
dough forms.

7. Step 3:
Stir, touch, crack, stir,
crack, and stir
• Transfer the dough to a large
bowl and keep stirring until the
dough is only a little warm.
• Add the eggs one at a time,
stirring in between until each
gets incorporated.
• The mixture will act like it
doesn't want to combine with
the egg at first, but keep stirring
and it will come together nicely.

8. Step 4
Stuff the pastry bag
• Fill up the pastry bag
with the choux pastry
dough and use a round
tip.
Tip: A glass really helps
with this process. Twist the
top of the pastry bag.

9. Step 5:
Squeeze and Bake
• Next squeeze out the dough in a
circular motion, creating a little
mound of dough.
• And then bake them in the oven
at 400 degrees F (204 C) for 15
minutes, then turn the oven
down to 350 degrees F (170 C)
and bake them for an additional
30 minutes.

10. Step 6
Whip that cream
• For the whipped
cream, add the
heavy whipping
cream to a bowl
• Add the sugar
Mercury
• Add the vanilla
extract

11. • Then mix it with a
hand or stand mixer
until peaks form.
• Ready to fill up

12. Step 7
Cut, Fill, Toppings
• Cut them in half using a
knife, then add some
whipped cream with a
spoon or pipe it in, then put
the top on.
• Next powder the top with
some powdered sugar.
