Cream Puffs

Ingredients

½ cup butter

1 cup water

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ tsp salt

4 eggs

Chocolate chips

Vanilla pudding

Directions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a medium saucepan, combine butter and water and bring to a boil.

Sift together 1 cup flour and a pinch of salt and pour all at once into boiling mixture. Stir vigorously until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat, and add eggs, one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition.

Drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheet, or pipe into desired shape.

Bake 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F (200 degrees C) and bake 10 minutes, and then reduce to 250 degrees for the last ten, or until golden. Do not remove from oven, but prop oven door open allowing pastries to cool slowly. This will keep them from collapsing. Cool completely, split, fill with pudding, and replace tops. Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over filled cream puffs.
