Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°. In a large saucepan, bring the water, butter and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.

These are wonderful and easy to make however, if you fill them ahead of time they get soggy. It's a bit of a hassel when you have guests and have to leave them to fill the puffs.

VERY good, and you can add or subtract whatever you do or don't like without compromising this really good recipe...and can also make them either bigger or smaller, depending on how you like them!!

Good Recipe!!! And Thanks for sharing it with all of us out here :)

I have made this several times. I fill them with different fillings, so everyone gets one they like.

Excellent! Definitely not 96 portions, more like 75. Making the mini puffs is a little too time consuming, would probably fill little phyllo shells instead. Also would cut back the grated onion to one tbsp,but maybe I just had a strong onion!

Fantastically EASY and DELICIOUS recipe. The choux pastry does not make 96 though. Perhaps mine were a bit larger than the recipe submitter, although I put 'quarter' to 'half-dollar' size dollops on my cookie sheets. Great tasting filling even without the horseradish (spouse does not like it at all). I'll certainly be putting this in my 'go to' list of appetizers for anytime of the year.

This was a very easy filling to make. I filled phyllo shells for a quick appetizer. Everyone loved these little bites.
