| 1/2 | cup water |
| 1/4 | cup butter |
| 1/4 | cup margarine |
| 1/8 | tsp vanilla extract |
| 7 | pinch of salt |
| 2 | eggs |
Instructions:
-
In a saucepan, bring water, butter, vanilla extract, and salt to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Dump rice flour into the saucepan all at once, and stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and forms a cohesive ball.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition until the batter is smooth and well combined.
-
Beat the batter until it reaches a smooth consistency.
-
Drop large spoonfuls of the batter onto an ungreased baking sheet, leaving some space between each puff.
-
Bake the puffs at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 to 35 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crisp.
-
Once baked, transfer the cream puffs to a cooling rack and let them cool completely.
-
Once cooled, you have two options:
- Option 1: Bag the cream puffs airtight and freeze them for later use.
- Option 2: Cut each puff in half, fill with whipped cream, replace the top, or partially fill with any kind of fruit sauce, top with whipped cream, replace the top, drizzle fruit sauce over, and top again with whipped cream for a decadent treat.
These cream puffs are perfect for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply craving a sweet indulgence. Enjoy the versatility and convenience of having these delightful treats on hand, ready to satisfy any craving that comes your way!
