Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Choux Pastry:

• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter , cut into small pieces
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs , room temperature

For the Filling:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Honey Glaze:

• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tbsp water
• Optional : A pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Choux Pastry

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the water, milk, butter, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture comes to a boil.
3. Remove from heat and immediately add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together and forms a smooth ball.
4. Return the pan to low heat and cook the dough for 1–2 minutes , stirring constantly, to dry it out slightly. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes.
5. Step 2: Add the Eggs

   1. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. The dough should be smooth, shiny, and thick enough to hold its shape when piped.
