Cream Puffs


 


Cream Puffs

 

½ cup butter (1 stick)

1 cup water

4 eggs

1 cup flour

¼ tsp. salt

 

Bring one cup water to boil.  Add butter and stir to melt.  Add flour and salt all at once.  Stir vigorously until mixture is smooth and forms a ball in pan.  Cool slightly (about 2 minutes) and add eggs, one at a time, stirring briskly after each one. Using pastry bag, twirl dough into 12 puffs on lightly greased cookie sheet.  Bake 450º for 15 minutes, then turn down to 325º and cook an additional 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.

 

Fill with pudding or whipped cream and top with mocha chocolate frosting.
