Instant pudding mix speeds up these delightful desserts from Helen Youngers of Kingman, Kansas. With a pretty green filling and a dusting of confectioners' sugar, the luscious puffs make festive and impressive dinner finales during the Christmas season. Ingredients:
1/4 cup water |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 egg |
2 cups cold milk |
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant pistachio pudding mix |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, bring the water, butter and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add egg; beat well. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.
2. Drop by rounded 1/4 cupfuls 3 in. apart onto a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Immediately split the puffs open; remove tops and set aside. Discard the soft dough from inside. Cool puffs.
3. In a bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. Just before serving, fill cream puffs and replace tops. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
