  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.

  4. Gradually add the flour to the mixture, beating until smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe small, round shapes onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown. Allow the puffs to cool on a wire rack.
  7. To make the cream filling, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and whip until smooth.
