Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk, unsalted butter, sugar, and salt over medium heat until rolling boil.
- Remove from heat and add all-purpose flour, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- Transfer dough to a mixing bowl and let cool for about 5 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth and glossy.
- Using a piping bag or spoon, place mounds of dough 2 inches wide on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F, then reduce to 350°F and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
- Poke a small hole in each puff to release steam and allow cooling on a wire rack.
- Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a chilled mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Slice the tops off each puff, fill with Chantilly cream, replace tops, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes
Chill the heavy cream and bowl before whipping for better volume. Fill cream puffs right before serving for optimal texture.
