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.
