Preparation time: 15 min
Cooking time: 15 min
Level: Easy
Ingredients:
1 cup water
½ cup butter
1 cup flour
1/4 tsp. salt
4 eggs
(A dash of grated lemon zest would take away the fresh scent from the egg).
Directions:
In a saucepan, bring water to boil. Add butter to melt. Add the flour at once; stir over heat until the mixture forms a panada (a ball in the center of the pot). Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Add one unbeaten egg at a time to the panada. Beat well until stiff.
Drop on a greased cookie sheet 2” apart. Start oven at 450°F and bake for 15 minutes. Cool puffs then fill as desired. Puff are crisp when finished baking but softens later.
Makes about 15 large puffs or 2 dozen medium sized puffs.
