Cream Puffs :-)
I made these yesterday and they came out really good! This is my Grandma's recipe... really basic and really yummy.
PUFF:
Preheat Oven to 425.
Combine 1 stick of butter, 1 cup of boiling water and 1/4 tsp of salt on the stovetop with Medium Flame. Cut butter into chunks.
While stirring, add one cup of flour. Keep stirring until mixture forms paste.
Remove from heat, and transfer mixture to bowl.
Add four eggs, one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition.
Line baking sheet with Parchment Paper, and use Tablespoon to drop dough. (It is important that the dough still be a little warm... so make sure to do all the steps at once and get them in the oven)
Cook for 15 minutes at 425 degrees.
Reduce heat and cook for an additional 20 - 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
Remove from oven and cool on rack.
FILLING:
For the filling, I usually make one package of instant vanilla pudding and one package of instant chocolate pudding. I use a little less milk than is called for (I think it calls for 2 cups, so I use 1.5 cups) and then I add a little Cool Whip to the pudding (about 2 tablespoons or so) while I am mixing it.
BEFORE SERVING:
Dust tops with Confectionary Sugar.
Enjoy! 
Recipe makes about 15 puffs (depending on the size it's a little more or a little less)...
I love this recipe because people think they are soooo hard to make!

I used to love making these too, they are much easier than people think.
I would frost the tops of them with chocolate frosting from the can, so they were like bite sized eclairs!

Re: Cream Puffs :-)
Question...how did you fill the cream puffs with the filling? Did you cut them in half, cut off the tops or pipe the cream into them from the top of the puffs?

I just cut them in half and put some filling in there. I suppose you could pipe it in, but I don't usually do anything that complicated

Re: Cream Puffs :-)
Ok thanks, but if you cut them in half, don't they fall apart afterwards? How do you get them to stick back together? Also, approximately how many cream puffs does this recipe make? Thanks.

Well, I don't slice them all the way through... I leave one side connected. They actually stay together pretty well (I think the pudding helps the top stay in place also)!
The recipe makes about 13-15, depending on how large you like them. I prefer them on the small side.
Hope that helps!
