Cream Puff Shells Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup boiling water
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup sifted flour
2 large eggs

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Prepare baking sheet with vegetable pan-coating. Cut margarine into pieces; boil water and salt in a saucepan; add margarine and bring to a vigorous boil. Add flour all at once. Keeping heat low, stir rapidly to blend; then beat strenuously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat; allow to cool a few minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating vigorously after each addition.

Drop 2 level tablespoons onto prepared sheet for each shell; place batter at least 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 400 degrees and continue baking until puffs are firm and browned, about 25 minutes.

Transfer to wire rack; slit each puff with the tip of a sharp knife to allow steam to escape. Let cool before filling.

This recipe yields 9 shells.

“That's something I've noticed about food: whenever there's a crisis if you can get people to eating normally things get better.”
