PUFFS! :)

NO CHILL SIMPLE PUFF PASTRY FROM SCRATCH

1 stick butter
1 c. water
dash of salt
1 c. flour
2 eggs


Bring butter, water and salt to a rolling boil. I added a dash of paprika.

Mix in 1 cup flour very well

Raise saucepan a few inches above heat.

Stir briskly.

Mixture will come away from sides of pan and form a ball in center
Remove from heat

Break in 1 egg at a time and beat well with wooden spoon.

Beat until eggs disappear.
Remember to add one egg at a time and beat until smooth after each addition.

Drop by spoonfuls, however large you'd like them onto cookie sheets, making sure they won't touch while baking or else they might cook together.
Bake at 375-400 degrees until puffed and golden and they look dry, though the center will still be soft.

You may have to adjust heat if they brown too quickly, being very careful while opening oven door if you don't have an oven light.
Good for all things that you normally use puff pastry for, from puddings, to eclairs, to about anything else you need a good dough for. I like cheese paste or tuna salad filling
