    Cream Puff Pastry:
  • Preheat oven to 400º F.
  • Boil water and butter in a small sauce
    pan. Add flour and stir briskly over low flame until a ball forms.
  • Remove mixture from heat
    and beat in eggs, with wooden spoon, one at a time in order to keep batter smooth. Continue to
    beat with wooden spoon until smooth.
  • To make a small bite-sized sandwich, use a smaller kitchen
    spoon like a typical table spoon for eating, to drop dough onto ungreased pan, placing dough
    3-inches apart. (If a larger puff is desired, use a serving spoon for portioning the dough onto the
    ungreased pan. Making a larger puff will decrease the number of servings.)
  • Bake 40 to 45
    minutes until lightly browned. As the crust browns, the inside opens up. (Underbaking results in a
    sticky inner dough and a less open texture.)
  • Remove from oven, set aside to cool.
