STRAWBERRY CREAM PUFFS
Lots of people think cream puffs are difficult to make-but I've never had these fail me! By now, I can't remember whether I came across this recipe somewhere or made it up myself. I began cooking quite young, and strawberry Cream Puffs were always a favorite of my younger sister. She lives in California now...I make them whenever she visits! My husband's diversified farmer with an emphasis on farrow-to-finish hogs. We have three children (5 years, 3 years and 6 months).

AMY'S STRAWBERRY JAM PUFFS
I made a huge batch of strawberry jam this weekend as we're inundated with strawbs at the moment and it's always a sin to let them go to waste. My other half isn't really a fan of jam so asked if I'd make some jam tarts (like you get in Tesco!) but as I couldn't find the right kind of recipe I made this instead! This is something a friend of mine made (Amy) made for me one morning when I lived in Brisbane, Australia. They are so simple to make and are a lovely sweet dessert. Because strawberries are in season I served the puffs with a few fresh strawberries and a white chocolate sauce as well (just melted white chocolate and cream mixed together) and we both gobbled them up! My other half even said they were much, much better than shop brought jam tarts - praise indeed, bless him! You can make these with whatever jam/marmelade you like really, but do note that this is a big serving of a very sweet pudding so you may want to half it down.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 200c (or whatever the pastry packet recommends).
- Cut the puff pastry into 8 equal-sized pieces (keep them rectangular).
- put a teaspoonful or so of jam in the middle of each pastry rectange.
- fold up two opposite corners of the pastry and join in the middle (like a danish). You'll also need to curl up the other two corners of the pastry because otherwise when the pastry puffs up the jam will get pushed off onto the baking tray.
- Place on a baking tray (I like to grease with some 1-cal cooking spray) and brush the top of each pastry with milk/egg.
- Bake for approximately 10-15 mins or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
- Cool for a few minutes before serving (because the jam gets HOT).

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a mixing bowl in the freezer.
- Combine water, butter, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and immediately add flour; quickly beat in the flour with a wooden spoon, alternating between pressing on the dough and beating it quickly. Continue until dough has formed a ball and no longer sticks to the side of the pan.
- Add 1 egg, and using the same technique above, beat it in until dough has reached a smooth consistency. Repeat with the second egg. Beat until dough begins to break into strands, about 5 more minutes.
- Divide dough into 12 pieces. Round each piece and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up and browned, about 20 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, pour cold cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Add white sugar and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
- Slice across the tops of the cooled cream puffs just enough to open; they will be hollow inside. Put a heaping tablespoon whipped cream in the top and bottom cavities. Put a strawberry in the middle and close the two halves. Set on a plate and dust with powdered sugar.
