Cream Puffs

1 c water
1 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c margarine or butter, cut up
4 eggs

Directions:

Heat oven to 450 degrees.

Melt butter in boiling water, quickly stir in salt and flour. Continue cooking and stirring until ball forms. Remove from heat, and cool slightly. Beat in eggs one at a time until smooth.

Drop dough by spoonfuls onto baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes at 450, reduce heat to 325 and continue baking another 25 minutes. Remove pufs and split. Turn off oven and place puffs back in oven until dry (20-35 minutes).

Just before serving, fill puff centers with cream, and replace top.

**Sometimes the center isn't as open as I'd like for it to be, so I scoop out any extra dough that may be in the way. I've used French vanilla pudding, chocolate pudding, strawberries in glaze- just about anything to fill the centers, and then top with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
