(1 Dozen Puffs)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 c. butter
- 1 C. boiling water
- 1 c. flour
- 4 eggs
Directions:
Boil the butter and water together until the butter is melted.
Add the flour by pouring it all in at one time. Stir rapidly and cook until the mass does not stick to the sides of the pan. Continue the stirring so that it does not burn.
Remove from the fire and cool, so as not to cook the eggs when they are added. Add one egg at a time and mix thoroughly with the mixture before adding another.
Drop by spoonfuls on a greased cooky sheet, place close to the floor of the oven, and bake in a hot oven for about 30 minutes or until the puffs are dry and can be lifted from the sheet.
Allow them to cool and then fill with whipped cream or a custard filling.
Before serving, sprinkle powdered sugar over the top of each.
