Cream Puffs

Are you drooling yet?  I sure am!

Also, there is two recipes today, that's right  -  TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE! 

Cream Puffs
Ingredients:

-1 c water

-1/2 c butter

-1 c flour

-4 eggs

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

Remove from heat and stir in 4 eggs, one at a time. Continue mixing until smooth. Don't worry this stirring should take a while. I usually switch off with the hubby - I mix in one egg, then he mixes in the next, that way we both are dead after mixing!

Drop dough by slightly rounded spoonful onto ungreased baking sheets. I used parchment paper and it worked perfectly.

They do not puff a lot or change shapes while baking so you will want to make them more into tall mountains instead of flat circles.

Bake 400°F 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Cool away from drafts.

Pudding Filling:

Blend together 1 small package (3.5 oz) instant pudding (both chocolate and vanilla are excellent) 1 cup milk on low. Add in 2 c chilled whipped cream and beat for 2 minutes on medium speed.

Cut off the top and fill with pudding mixture. Drizzle with chocolate or raspberry sauce.
