Cream Puffs (Pate a choux)
THM-Friendly: S
- 1 bag THM No Carb Easy Bread (I use half fresh and half carton egg whites)
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp. THM Super Sweet
- boiling water
- one egg yolk mixed with a little (cool) water
Make the No Carb Easy Bread mix as directed, and when you complete mixing in the blender, add the Super Sweet and vanilla and mix by hand until incorporated. Grab small pieces (about 2 Tbsp.) of batter and gently pat into a ball. Do not roll tightly; you want the batter to be lightly shaped. Drop into boiling water three at a time and boil for two minutes, flipping over halfway through. Remove from the water and put on a paper towel to dry a bit. Brush on some egg yolk. Place on a silicone pan, or parchment to prevent sticking.
Cook in an air fryer at 400° for 7 minutes; flip and cook for 2-3 more until a light golden brown. Remove and cool completely before filling.
Filling Recommendations:
- Snicker’s Gluccie Pudding
- sweetened whipped cream
- anything whippy or dippy you darn well please
NOTE! Make these savory by leaving the vanilla and sweetener out. Make the same way and fill with chicken salad or tuna! My favorite filling is Buffalo Chicken Salad!
enJOY!
