PERSIAN CREAM PUFFS (NOON'E CHAMEI)
These cream puffs are a completely French invention. They look so perfectly beautiful! My children love filling them with whipped cream-and eating them, of course. These are certainly hard to resist.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small nonstick saucepan, bring water, margarine, and salt to a boil. When margarine melts, add flour all at once, stirring rapidly. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until a ball of dough that detaches easily from the pot forms. Set aside and let cool for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, make the cream filling by beating the parve whipping cream until it forms peaks. Add the powdered sugar and mixing well. Store in a cool place until ready to use.
- Transfer cooled dough to the bowl of stand mixer fitted with a flat paddle attachment. Add eggs, one by one, making sure each egg has completely incorporated into the dough before adding the next.
- Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large star pastry tip (Wilton 4B is perfect) or simply use an ice cream scoop to form puffs. Form meringue-like mounds, 3" in diameter and 2" in height, directly on the prepared pans.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown; transfer puffs to a cooling rack.
- When the puffs are completely cooled, cut in half, using a serrated knife, and fill the cavity with whipped cream.
- Optional: To make the syrup, mix all ingredients in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Drizzle cooled syrup on cream puffs right before serving. Can also be served with a drizzle of melted chocolate or sprinkled with powered sugar.
- Tricks of the trade If you lack a pastry bag and pastry tip you can use a storage-size zipper-top bag and cut off one corner with scissors, or use an ice cream scoop to shape. Keep in mind: It is important there are no cold drafts in your kitchen when you make these or they will deflate when taken out of the oven. Once cooked, these freeze beautifully.
