Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 Eggs
• 2 cups Milk
• 3/4 cup Sugar
• 1 pack Vanilla pudding
• 1/4 cup Powdered sugar

Steps

1. Boil the water with butter, dump in the flour, and stir until the dough pulls away — classic choux.
2. Beat in the eggs one at a time until glossy; the batter should be thick and smooth.
3. Spread in two uneven layers on baking sheets; the craggier, the more mountain-like.
4. Bake at 400 degrees 25 minutes until puffed and golden; cool completely.
5. Cook the pudding with milk and sugar until thick; cool, then whip with butter into a silky cream.
6. Sandwich the cream between the choux layers; dust with powdered sugar like snow on peaks.
