Choux Paste (Cream Puffs)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup boiling water
1 cup pastry flour (all-purpose will do)
3 unbeaten eggs
2 cups whipping cream
1/4 - 1/2 cup sugar
Measure 1/2 cup butter into a saucepan. Add 1 cup boiling water. Bring to a rapid boil. Add the flour all at once and mix thoroughly. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture leaves the sides of the saucepan. Cool but do not chill. Add eggs, one at a time beating the mixture. Cover and chill.
