Puff Pastry

Place the butter in a pan, add half a cup of water and let it simmer

Add all the flour at once with the salt

Beat until the mixture forms a ball that detaches from the sides of the pan

Remove from heat and add the eggs one by one, beating until smooth

Let it drizzle onto a greased baking sheet

Bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes or until the puffs are well inflated; then reduce the heat and let them bake for another 25 minutes

This second baking prevents the puffs from collapsing

Let them cool on a wire rack

Make a lateral cut and fill with the following filling

Dust with confectioner's sugar

Filling:

Scald the milk with vanilla

Beat the egg yolks with confectioner's sugar until frothy

Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until smooth

Add the milk and stir until thickened

Remove from heat and beat for 1-2 minutes

Let it cool in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally to form a layer on top

Add 1 1/2 cups of whipped cream (or to taste)

If desired, you can add one tablespoon of instant coffee when removing from heat.
