Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine water, butter, vanilla extract, and white sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Gradually stir in the flour until the dough pulls away from the pan sides (about 1-2 minutes).
Allow the dough to cool slightly before adding eggs one at a time, mixing until smooth.
Drop tablespoon-sized portions onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them two inches apart.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes; then lower the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Remove from oven; make small slits in each puff’s side to let steam escape and cool completely on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, beat together heavy cream, whole milk, and instant vanilla pudding mix until thickened.
Cut each cooled puff in half horizontally and fill generously with the creamy mixture using a piping bag or spoon.
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
