  • Preheat the oven to 205 degrees.
  • Place parchment paper on a baking sheet.
  • In a bowl, mix the flour, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • Put the butter and water in a small pot over medium heat and wait for it to boil.
  • Remove from heat and with a wooden spoon, quickly add the flour mixture.
  • Return to the heat stirring constantly until a ball mixture forms (about 2 minutes maximum).
  • Put the dough in an electric mixer and beat on low speed until steam comes out.
  • Once the dough cools a bit, add 2 eggs (previously beaten) and form a paste.
  • With a pastry bag, form 12 discs (in circular motions), spacing them a couple of centimeters apart as they will puff up.
  • Beat another egg with 1/8 teaspoon of salt and carefully brush the dough balls.
  • Bake for 15 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 177 degrees.
  • Bake for another 30-40 minutes until the pastries puff up and brown slightly.
  • Turn off the oven and slightly open the oven door. Let them cool for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Prepare the whipped cream: in a bowl, put the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, beat with a mixer until peaks form.
  • To serve: cut the pastries in half, fill with sliced strawberries, and then with whipped cream. Place the tops back on.
  • Repeat with the rest of the pastries and serve dusted with powdered sugar.
