Cream Puffs
1⁄2
cup butter
1 cup boiling water
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1⁄4
teaspoon salt
4 eggs
Melt butter in boiling water. Add flour and salt all at one time, stir vigorously. Cook, stirring
constantly until the mixture forms a ball that doesn’t separate. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
Add eggs one at a time, beating hard after each addition until mixture is smooth. Using your
selected cookie disc, form cream puffs 2" in diameter and 2" apart on greased cookie sheets. Hold
slightly above the baking pan as the puff is formed. Bake about 40 minutes at 450 degrees. Remove
from sheet and cool on a wire rack. When cream puffs are cold, cut a hole in the side of each. Use
the filler funnel (the one with the slanted tip) to fill cream puff with sweetened whipped cream.
Makes 12 cream puffs.
