Cream Puffs [June]

Easy to make dessert that looks like you've been baking all day. This receipe is from my very first cookbook - Betty Crocker.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Water

1/2 Butter or margarine

1 Cup Flour

4 Eggs

Vanilla Pudding

Confectioners' sugar

Makes about 24 mini-puffs or 12 large.

Heat oven to 400. Heat water and butter to rolling boil. Stir in flour. Stir vigorously over low heat about 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball.

Remove from heat. Beat in eggs all at one time, continue to beat until smooth. (this might take a little while but just keep beating!)

Drop dough onto ungreased baking sheet. For large puffs, use 1/4 cupful. I made mini-puffs and used a heaping teaspoon.

Bake 35-40 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool and then cut tops off. Pull out any filaments of soft dough. Fill puffs with vanilla pudding (or whipped cream if you prefer). I actually used Pudding Snack Packs. Replace tops & dust with confectioners sugar. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
