Appetizer: 40 Party Cream Puffs

From Mary Carey and Jackie Schuler
Note: You can stuff these cream puffs with something savory like egg or tuna salad or something sweet, like cream.

Ingredients
½ cup water
1 ½ cups sifted flour
¼ cup butter
2 eggs

Directions
Heat water and butter to boiling point in saucepan. Mix in all flour at once. Stir constantly until mixture leaves sides of pan and forms into a ball – about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cool about 5 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Whip mixture until velvety. Drop by leveled teaspoons in small mounds onto lightly greased cookie sheets. Bake in hot oven 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool. Cut off tops and fill with favorite filling. Note: level spoon makes very small puffs. You can make them larger, if you prefer.
