Mom Duncan's Cream Puffs image

This was one of my husband's favorite dessert that his Mom made. She is gone now and I got her recipe. I make these for my husband on special days, like today, Father's Day.

Number Of Ingredients 13

PASTRY PUFF
1 cup(s) water, boiling
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
4 large eggs
1/2 cup(s) butter, unsalted
1 cup(s) all purpose flour
CREAM FILLING
2/3 cup(s) sugar
1/2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
2 cup(s) milk, scalded
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

Steps:

  • FOR PASTRY: Bring water, salt, and butter to a boil. Add Flour all at once.
  • Cook, stirring constantly until mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Cool.
  • After mixture is cool, add eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after adding each egg.
  • Drop by heaping tablespoon on to greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in preheated 450• oven for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350• for additional 20 minutes.
  • When completely cool stuff with cream filling.
  • CREAM FILLING: Mix all ingredients except eggs and vanilla in double boiler for 10 minutes.
  • Add beaten eggs, cook 2 minutes longer. Cool and add vanilla.
  • I used a Pampered Chef Pastry filler and it was so easy to insert filling. If you don't have a pastry filler, you can take a small spoon and scoop into the side of the pastry and fill.
