Cream Puffs I

Ingredients:

1/2 c. butter 4 eggs

1 c. boiling water 1 c. pastry flour

Method:

Put butter and water in saucepan and heat to boiling point, add flour all at once and beat vigorously. Remove from fire as soon as mixed, and add unbeaten eggs one at a time, beating until thoroughly mixed between the addition of eggs. Drop by spoonfuls on a buttered sheet 1 1/2 inches apart, shaping as nearly circular as possible, having mixture slightly piled in center. Bake 30 minutes in a moderate oven. With a sharp knife make in each an incision large enough to admit cream filling.

Cream Puffs II

Ingredients:

1/2 c. butter (scant) 1/2 c. flour

1/2 c. boiling water 2 eggs fruit preserve or marmalade

Put butter in small saucepan and pour on water. When water again reaches boiling point add flour all at once and stir until mixture leaves sides of saucepan, cleaving to spoon. Remove from fire and add eggs unbeaten, one at a time, beating mixture between addition of eggs. Drop by spoonfuls into hot fat and fry until well puffed and brown. Drain. Make an opening and fill with jelly, preserve, or marmalade. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Eclairs

Shape cream puff mixture 4 1/2 inches long and 1 inch wide by forcing through a pastry bag and tube. Bake 25 minutes in a moderate oven. Fill with vanilla, coffee, or chocolate cream filling. Frost with chocolate frosting.

Flour Pastes

Macaroni; Spaghetti; Noodles

Boiled Macaroni Or Spaghetti

Ingredients:

3/4 c. macaroni or spaghetti broken in pieces 2 qts. boiling water 1 c. cream 1 tbsp. salt

Method :

Cook macaroni or spaghetti in boiling salted water 20 minutes, or until soft; drain in strainer, pour over it cold water to prevent pieces from adhering; add cream, reheat, and season with salt.

Noodles

Ingredients:

1 egg 1/2 tsp. salt

2 c. flour Method:

Beat egg slightly, add salt, and flour enough to make a very stiff dough; knead on a slightly floured board, and roll as thin as possible, which may be as thin as paper. Cover with towel and set aside for 20 minutes; then cut in fancy shapes - using sharp knife or French vegetable cutter; or the thin sheet may be rolled like a jelly roll, cut in thin slices and pieces unrolled.

When eggs are expensive, one tablespoon of water may be beaten with each egg.

When noodles are perfectly dry, put them into a glass jar or pasteboard box. They will keep indefinitely.
