Our local grocery store used to sell these giant ones when I was little, & they were heaven.

I'm still trying to find a similar recipe.

This one is from Eugenie Kitchen on YouTube

    Place a metal or glass bowl, along with your whisks into the freezer for your whipped cream

  4. 4

    Choux Pastry: Over medium heat in a saucepan, melt butter

  5. 5

    Add in water, sugar & salt, then bring to a boil

  6. 6

    Once boiling, remove from heat & stir in flour with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula - it should eventually form a ball

  7. 7

    Set aside & let this cool for about 7 minutes

  8. 8

    In a small bowl, beat the eggs

  9. 9

    Add this to the dough then stir together till mixture is thick & shiny

    Put batter into a piping bag or sturdy ziploc bag; snip the tip/corner off

  11. 11

    Bake at 400° for 20 to 22 minutes. Let cool.

  13. 13

    Filling: Add your chilled, heavy whipping cream to the bowl & powdered sugar

    Whip this until stiff peaks form, it takes a bit but is worth the effort

  15. 15

    Assembly: After the choux buns are cooled, slice them in half, horizontally

  16. 16

    Either pipe or spoon in the whipped cream onto the bottom half of the bun; additionally, add on the strawberries at this point
