This Cream Puff Will Make You Go Bananas!

Today I'm posting up the Najika's recipe for a Banana Cream Puff. The first time I heard of a Cream Puff, was from Yumerio Patisserie. Even though it's an anime, that sucker looked so good! I'm serious, and if you have a chance be sure to check out Yumerio Patisserie.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cups of water
• 4 TBSP of butter
• 2/3 cups of flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup of whipping cream (for the filling)
• 1 TBSP of sugar
• 2-3 bananas
• A bit of lemon juice

Prepare the Puffs!

Before you cook the Puffs, be sure to:

• Sift the flour into a bowl and set it aside (Sifting the flour removes the lumps)
• Crack and whisk the eggs in a separate cup then set it aside
• Place wax paper on a cookie sheet
• Preheat the oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, put the water and butter inside. Melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, remove the saucepan from the stove.
2. Immediately add the already sifted flour to the butter/water mixture and mix. Then place the saucepan back on medium heat for one minute.
3. Slowly add the eggs and mix until the mixture folds. If over mixed, it will not puff up (That's why it's called Banana Cream Puff)
4. Put the batter into a pastry bag. If you don't have one, then you can put it into a zip lock bag and cut the tip.
5. Squeeze the batter into circles on the cookie sheet. Make them around 1 inch in diameter.
6. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes. TIP: Do not open the oven in the baking process. If you do the puffs will shrivel up and lose it's puff!
7. After it's done, allow them to cool on a wire rack.
8. As it cools, prepare a large bowl of water with ice and a put a smaller bowl on top. Pour the whipping cream and sugar into the smaller bowl and whisk!
9. Thinly slice the bananas and pour on the lemon juice.
10. Cut the cool Puffs in half. On the bottom half, squeeze out the whipped cream. Next place a few banana slices. Then put more whipped cream on top. Finally, put the top half on top and your done!
