Ingredients Pierre Hermé’³ Cream Puff Dough with Gluten-free variation and modified instructions (makes 20-24 É£lairs) 1/2 cup (125g) whole milk 1/2 cup (125g) water 1 stick (4 ounces; 115g) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt *1 cup (140g) Rebecca Reilly GF flour mix 5 large eggs, at room temperature 1 tsp. vanilla Chocolate glaze (see separate recipe) Vanilla and/ or Espresso pastry cream (see separate recipe) *Rebecca Reilly’s GF flour mix uses 2 cups brown rice flour, 2/3 cup potato starch, and 1/3 cup tapioca starch mixed together. Although you only use one cup in this recipe, I keep it on hand- it’s great for many different things. Directions 1) In a heavy bottomed medium saucepan, bring the milk, water, butter, sugar and salt to the boil. 2) Once the mixture is at a rolling boil, add all of the flour at once, reduce the heat to medium and start to stir the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon. The dough comes together very quickly. Do not worry
