    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
