BIGNÉ

Ingredients

• 1 cup Flour
• 1 cup Water
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 3 eggs Eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
• 1 cup Custard (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))

Instructions

1. 1In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the butter and salt. Stir until the butter is melted. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
2. 2Remove the dough from the heat and let it cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
3. 3Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming 12 Bigné (little cakes or cookies). Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until puffed up and golden brown.
4. 4Once the Bigné are cool, split them open. Fill with custard flavored with vanilla and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
