This delicious recipe for cream puffs is really easy to make. A Cream Puff Buffet is a fun idea for a potluck or dessert party – just set out a bunch of cream puff shells along with an assortment of fillings like pudding and whipped cream.
Cream Puff Buffet

Ingredients
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup butter or margarine
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- On your stove top, boil water in a medium pot. Add butter to boiling water. Heat to boiling. Add salt.
- Add flour, all at once, stir over the heat until smooth. Cook until mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Do not overcook. Remove pot from stove top.
- Cool slightly. Add unbeaten eggs one at a time (very important). Stir until smooth after each egg is added. Beat until mixture is glossy.
- Chill mixture slightly (the mixture should be stiff enough to hold its shape).
- Drop walnut sized amounts (for medium sized cream puffs) onto cookie sheet.
- Bake at 400 F for 25 minutes. They should feel very light when ready to take from the oven and they should have turned a golden colour to a light brown. Do not open the door during the first 25 minutes.
- Cool, cut opening in each.
