  • ¼ cup (60 ml) unsalted butter
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3 eggs, room temperature

Preparation

  1. Bring water, butter and salt to a boil in a small pot. Add flour all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until mixture transforms into a little ball. Transfer mixture into a bowl and beat in the eggs one at a time.
  2. Place dough in a pastry bag with a star tip. Pipe 5 cm balls on lined baking tray leaving space between each of the cream puffs. Bake in preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
  3. Puree 1/3 of the blueberries with sugar and lemon juice. Stir in mascarpone and chill in the fridge.
