French Donuts--Cream Puffs image

These are so good! This is my g-ma's recipe. These are best the first couple of days after you make them; if you keep them for longer, they start to get soggy. These are best when they have completely cooled.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 -2 cup sifted powdered sugar

  • Remove from heat, add 4 eggs, one at a time, beating well and fast until smooth.
  • Drop dough balls onto a greased pan, making a hole in the center with a spoon handle to resemble donuts.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
