Cream puffs can be cut in half and then filled with sweet or savory fillings.

Cream Puffs

4 large eggs

1 cup water

1/2 cup butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

Remove from heat, add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mixture should be smooth and velvety.
2. Drop tablespoonfuls of dough 2-inches apart on ungreased baking sheet.
3. Bake at 400°F for 45 to 50 minutes or until puffed, golden brown, and dry. Cool on wire racks.
