Aunt Kathleen's Cream Puffs

1/2 C butter
1 C water
1/2 t salt
1 C flour
4 eggs, well beaten

Bring water, butter and salt to a boil. Reduce heat to low. With a wooden spoon (not metal), vigorously stir in flour until mixture leaves sides of pan. Remove from heat. Quickly beat in eggs. Drop onto well greased cookie sheet in 13 equal portions, swirling tops of each mound. Bake at 375 for about 50 mins or until done. Cut top swirl portion, hollow out the inside (if needed, most of the time it will bake hollow), and return to oven for as many as 10 mins.

Fill with whipped cream, ice cream, or pudding. Can make one box of pudding and mix with whipping cream.

Lisa's Waffles

2 eggs
2 cup all purpose flour or whole wheat
1/2 cup vegetable oil or butter, melted
1 3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon Salt

 Heat waffle iron. Beat eggs with hand beater in medium bowl until fluffy.Beat in remaining ingredients just until smooth. Pour batter from cup or pitcher onto center of hot waffle iron. Bake about 5 minutes or until steaming stops. Remove waffle carefully. (I use a lot of nonstick spray to coat the iron before each waffle - otherwise these can be a nightmare).
