Who can resist the decadent cream puff the Julia received on her birthday in Paris? Not me! Here is a great recipe for the cream puff. I happened to take a short cut and serve it with vanilla pudding instead of the traditional custard.
1 cup water
4 Tbsp butter
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
4 eggs
whipped cream, vanilla pudding or other filling
Preparation
1. heat oven to 375 degrees F
2. add water, butter and salt in heavy sauce pan and bring jut to a boil
3. remove pan from the heat and add the flour all at once, stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball. Let rest 2 minutes.
4. add whole eggs one at a time, beating well. Dough should be stiff but smooth.
5. in 1/4 cup amounts, drop onto baking sheet about 3 inches apart
6. Bake about 35 minutes until puffed and golden brown
Bon Appetit!
