Cream Puffs With Pudding Filling Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together vanilla instant pudding mix, cream and milk. Cover and refrigerate to set.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a large pot, bring water and butter to a rolling boil. Stir in flour and salt until the mixture forms a ball. Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon or stand mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Centers should be dry.
• When the shells are cool, either split and fill them with the pudding mixture, or use a pastry bag to pipe the pudding into the shells.

Steps:

• Bring water to boiling in a medium pan.
• Add crisco, and stir until melted.
• Return to boiling and quickly add flour and salt.
• Cook, stirring constantly, until it is a smooth, compact mass.
• Cool slightly.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Beat until mixture is thick and shiny. Shape into 12 balls (mounds for cream puffs, or shape them a little oblong for eclairs).
• Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 350 and bake an additional 20-25 minutes.
• Make a slit in the side, top, or bottom, and cool.
• Using a spoon or pastry bag, fill with preferred custard, pudding, or whipped cream.
• Chill if desired.

Steps:

• preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Steps:

• Now, I use this in my cream puffs and top with drizzled chocolate. I use these with a hint of cinnamon inside dessert crepes and top with berry sauce (see recipe for mixed berry sauce). I use this as a frosting for cupcakes, and brownies. The possibilities are endless.
• This is enough for one cream puff recipe. Feel free to double or triple according to your needs.

Steps:

• For creampuffs: heat the water and margarine to boiling in a saucepan. Stir in all at once the sifted flour.
• Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until mixture leaves pan and forms into a ball (about 1 minute). Remove from heat; cool.
• Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Beat mixture until smooth and velvety.
• Drop from teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake about 15 minutes in 425 degree oven then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for 10-15 minutes more.
• Remove from oven, gut gash to allow steam to escape (I guess in the middle so you can fill them). Fill with custard filling.
• For custard filling: melt margarine in a saucepan. Blend in cornstarch, sugar and salt. Gradually add milk. Heat to boiling over direct heat. Stir mixture into slightly beaten egg yolks.
• Return to heat and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add vanilla. Cool thoroughly. Makes 2 cups.
