Cream Puffs
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup white sugar
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
2 cups milk
2 egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup water
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
4 eggs
DIRECTIONS
For the custard: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 5 tablespoons flour and a pinch of salt. Stir in milk, a little at a time, until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 60 seconds, then pour a small amount of hot liquid into the 2 egg yolks, and stir. Then return now heated egg yolks to saucepan and stir, over heat, until mixture starts to bubble again. Remove from heat, add vanilla. Cover and chill in refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
For the pastry: In a medium saucepan, combine shortening and water and bring to a boil. Sift together 1 cup flour and a pinch of salt and pour all at once into boiling mixture. Stir vigorously until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat, and add eggs, one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition. Drop by spoonfuls onto baking sheet, or pipe into desired shape.
Bake 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and bake 25 minutes more, or until golden. Cool completely, split, fill with custard, and replace tops.

Today while bringing in the groceries Emma was carrying the eggs (a pack of 30 for this family) and proptley dropped them on the floor once she was in, therefor I had a lot of eggs to use... so I'm making the above recipe. I won't be doing it with the custard though, I'll fill them with whipped cream, which my husband is going to have to bring home along with some of those sticky bug tape things.

Before camping I was very careful to make sure that the house was tidy-ish and clean of all dishes with food and such, but I forgot a large dish of the broccoli casserole that we didn't like on the counter, so my house became a fruit fly breeding colony. So now they're everywhere and since there is nothing for them to eat anymore there living in the strangest places.

well I hope you try the cream puffs next time you have extra eggs. I doubled the batch because I'm married to a Wiebe man and you have to at least double batches of cream puffs, banana cream pie, cookies and sticky buns.
