Pâte à chou

Today I decided to make pâte à chou (a French version of the cream puff). It is a very simple batter made of butter, water, flour, and sugar. Once the batter is made you pipe it onto a sheet pan and bake for twenty minutes then let cool and fill with whipped cream. I used Julia Child's recipe which made 51 pâte à chou. These little bites are especially delicious when you freeze them. The whipped cream solidifies and becomes custard-like. These are simply amazing.
