Method
 

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