Aunt Bea's Perfect Cream Puffs

Combine boiling water, butter or margarine and salt.

Heat until boiling and stir vigorously, then add flour all at once. Stir constantly until mixture forms a smooth ball and leaves sides of pan clean.

Remove from heat and add eggs, one at a time.

Beat after addition until egg is blended and mixture is smooth. Continue beating until mixture is stiff and breaks when spoon is raised.

Shape on a greased baking sheet with 2 tablespoons, allowing 2 inches between each one.

Bake at 450° for 15 minutes, then at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes. Place on wire rack to cool; fill with cream filling, ice cream or flavored whipped cream. Makes 12 Cream Puffs.

They are wonderful.
