Nutella Cream Puffs

One word:  AMAZING.  Seriously these are to die for and so simple!  I got about 20 because I made them a little bigger and they are almost gone!

5.5 tbs butter

1 tbs sugar

1 cup minus 1 tbs cake flour

1/2 cup whole milk

1/2 cup water

pinch of salt

3 large eggs

1/8 tsp  cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Bring the butter, sugar, milk, water, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in the flour, whisking vigorously until it turns into a homogenous paste. Let cool and add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, and stir in the cinnamon last.

Fill a piping bag with a round tip with the batter and pipe small mounds on a baking sheet. 

Bake for 9 minutes. Then open your oven door slightly (or stick a wooden spoon in it to hold it open) and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.

Remove and let cool.

Nutella Filling:

6.5 oz Nutella spread

2.5 tbs butter

6-8 tbs heavy whipping cream

Beat all ingredients together on high until fluffy. Add more cream according to taste.

Pour the filling into a piping bag with a small round top. Poke holes in the sides of each cream puff, or on the bottom with the tip of the piping bag and fill with frosting.

Enjoy!
