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).

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE PUFFS
When my wonderful friend Kelly brought me a pint of strawberries, I didn't want to just eat them straight (tempting as it was). I decided to make strawberry shortcake with my own pretty, elegant spin. These light and airy puff pastry stacks let the fruit shine. -Jenny Dubinsky, Inwood, West Virginia

EASY MINI STRAWBERRY CREAM PUFFS
A perfect Valentine's Day treat! You'll need to put a bit of muscle into beating the dough, but just think of it as pre-burning calories. Once you taste these, it's really hard to stop at one. Delicious! Also great filled with ice cream and dipped in chocolate. These freeze well.

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.
