Cream Puffs

Ingredients:

1 cup water

1/2 cup butter or margarine

1 cup flour

4 eggs

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a 2.5 quart saucepan heat the water and butter (or margarine) until its a rolling boil. Once boiling, stir in flour. Reduce heat and stir mixture vigorously until it forms a ball. Cool mixture slightly and beat in eggs.

Drop mixture onto a greased cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes (until they are puffed and golden). Cool puffs away from drafts for about 30 minutes. Store in airtight containers or ziploc bags.

Tips: If you break all your eggs into a small bowl you can gradually add small spoonfuls of the hot dough to the eggs and mix them to gradually heat the eggs. This will prevent you from cooking the eggs when you add them to the rest of the dough.
