Steps
Sequence Step
1In a saucepan, heat butter and water until almost boiling. Remove from heat.
2Add flour. Return to heat. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture thickens, leaves side of pan and forms a ball. Remove from heat.
3Add eggs one at a time, and beat constantly until eggs are fully incorporated (this was the hardest part for me, since the dough was pretty hard adding eggs makes it runny, just so you know)
4Put the dough in a ziploc bag, snipping off a small corner, and pipe small lines on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
5Bake immediately at 400 degrees until light, puffy and golden, about 25 minutes. DO NOT open the oven door during baking, or they will not puff%21 (even if they don''t, they still work ok)
6Let cool, uncovered, on rack.
7Make the pudding according to directions. Whip cream and fold into vanilla pudding. Just poke a hole in the end of the puffs, and pipe the cream mixture inside.
8For the glaze, ,in a double boiler, ,melt chocolate and butter over low heat. Drizzle chocolate over puffs. Let cool. Serve.
9Because of the pudding, you need to refrigerate any leftovers.
