Cream Puffs
Cream Puffs use to intimidate me...my waistline wishes they still did....but this is such an easy recipe that it would be hard to mess them up!
My mom use to make these for parties and fill them with a delicious chicken filling.
Today, we'll be sharing my all time favorite homemade vanilla pie filling!

1 cup flour, sifted
4 eggs, mixedAdd shortening and salt to boiling water and stir over medium heat until mixture boils. Lower heat, add flour all at once and stir vigorously until mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Remove from the heat and add a little of the beaten egg, beating thoroughly after each addition.
