Cream Puff Shells

Created by KittenCal on October 13, 2011

1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, room temperature (eggs must be at room temperature to speed up that process let sit in hot water for about 5 minutes)

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2: Grease a large baking sheet/jelly-roll pan or line with parchment paper.
Step 3: Boil the water in a medium saucepan; add in the butter and mix until melted, when the butter is completely melted remove from heat.
Step 4: Add in flour and salt, then beat using a wooden spoon for about 12 minutes (the texture should look like putty) cool slightly.
Step 5: Add in the room temperature eggs one at a time beating until creamy and combined.
Step 6: Drop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto baking sheet.
Step 7: Bake in preheated 375 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
Step 8: Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue baking for another 30 minutes (for the second baking at 350 degrees do not open the oven door at anytime while baking for at least the first 20 minutes).
Step 9: Allow shells to cool, then slice off the tops.
Step 10: Stuff the shells as desired and replace with the top.
