=Cream Puffs=

1 Cupful of Hot Water
1/2 Cupful of Butter
1 Cupful of Flour
1 Pinch of Salt and Baking Soda
3 Eggs

Put the water and butter, into a dish on the stove.

When boiling, stir in the dry flour, into which you have put the salt
and soda. Stir until smooth and thick. When nearly cool, add three
eggs, one at a time. Drop on a buttered pan and bake twenty minutes in
a hot oven. This will make twelve cakes. When they are cold, make a
slit in the side with a sharp knife, and fill with whipped cream or the
following mixture:

One pint of milk, one egg, two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, one large
spoonful of flour. Beat the egg, sugar, flour, and a little salt
together till smooth and stir into the boiling milk. Flavor with lemon.
