Grandma Violet’s Cream Puffs

½ cup margarine

1 cup boiling water

1 cup sifted flour

¼ teaspoon salt

4 eggs

Boil water, add margarine, then flour, salt, and one egg at a time, stirring fast and constantly until batter appears to be leaving side of pot. Spoon on baking sheet the size you want. Make sure there is space between each spoonful so that it does not adhere to each other. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then lower heat to 325 degrees and bake another 25 minutes.

To make custard filling:

2/3 cup sugar

½ teaspoon salt

1-1/2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon flour

3 cups milk (you can use canned Carnation diluted)

1 tablespoon butter or margarine

1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Cook first 5 ingredients until it begins to thicken, then add egg yolks, stirring constantly, then butter and vanilla. Do not overcook because it will be too tacky.
