List of Ingredients
State Fair Cream Puffs
1 c. water
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes)
1 c. all purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
4 eggs
2 Tbsp. milk
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
2 c. whipping cream
1/4 c. confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Additional confectioner sugar for sprinking on when finished.
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt at once; stir until smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until smooth. Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 3 inches apart onto greased baking sheets. Combine milk and egg yolk; brush over the puffs. Bake at 400 for 35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.
Immediately cut a slit in each for steam to escape; cool. In a mixing bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar and vanilla, beating until almost stiff. Split puffs; remove soft dough. Add filling; replace tops. Dust with confectioners sugars. Refrigerate until serving. Yield 10 servings Recipe
