Cream Puffs

By Lorraine

I pulled out an old recipe to make Cream Puffs for Bible study this evening.
I dirtied lots of dishes and it took several steps but they’re not difficult to make!
And… they look special!
Cream Puffs

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 tsp sugar
1 cup flour, sifted
4 large eggs

Glaze
6 oz. semisweet chocolate pieces
1 Tbs. vegetable shortening

Custard:
3/4 cup flour
1 cup sugar
3 cups milk
4 large eggs
1 Tbs. butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Cream Puffs:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring water, butter and sugar to a full rolling boil in a large saucepan. Add flour all at once. Stir vigorously with wooden spoon about 1 minute or until mixture forms a smooth ball that leaves sides of pan. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, until paste is shinny and smooth. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls, 3-inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 40 minutes until golden. Cool on wire rack.

Custard:
Combine flour and sugar in saucepan; stir in milk. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly over low heat until bubbly. Cook 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat. Beat eggs lightly in bowl; beat in 1 cup hot milk mixture and return eggs to saucepan. Cook 1-2 minutes more (do not boil). Add butter and vanilla; pour into bowl and cover with plastic wrap touching top for 2 hours.

Glaze:
Melt chocolate and shortening together over low heat (or microwave).

To fill:
Cut tops off cream puffs; fill with custard. Top with melted chocolate or sprinkle with confectioners sugar.

    The cream puffs look delicious. I found an old recipe of my moms for cream puffs when I was cleaning out a drawer one day. I tucked it away to try and then forgot about it.

    Thank you for the giveaway link!

    Oh my ~ those cream puffs look positively divine! When I was a little girl my mother would take me out school cloths shopping each summer. Our last stop of the day woudl always be Sanders Ice Cream Parlor. We'd sit at the counter and get Hot Fudge Cream Puff Sundaes! Thanks for the memories!!
