Cream Puffs

Not only Norwegian, Puff Pastries are universal

Versatile cream puffs can be served as desserts, canapés or appetizers.

If you are having guests over for lunch you could serve puff pastry, the "edible bowl", filled with your favorite salad.

And if you place tons of these light and fluffy puff pastries on the dinner table instead of dinner rolls, they will disappear super quick, as snow melts in the sun.

Basic Puff Pastry
Ingredients:
3/4 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1-tablespoon sugar (only when making dessert.)
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup flour (sifted)
3 eggs

Preparation:

Add flour.
Stir with wooden spoon until the mixture forms into a ball.

Turn off heat. Add eggs and stir with electric mixer until all eggs are added. Cover dough and cool well.

Spoon unto lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven at 450° for 8 minutes. Turn heat down to 350°.   Bake 20 - 30 minutes.

Dessert:.
Fill with whip cream only; with whip cream, berries, jams or fruit; with puddings and whip cream or cream cheese filling, etc. Use your imagination.

Appetizers, Canapés or Hors d'oeuvres:
Make mini-puffs and cut them in half. Now you can really be creative. There are a myriad of fillings and mixes you can use; from seafoods and meats to cheeses and vegetables. The smaller muffin tins works best. Garnished with appetizing colorful vegetables and fruit. It is sure to be a hit.

Luncheon:
Make extra large pastries, cut off the top and fill with fruit, tuna, crab, shrimp or chicken salad. Garnish with mint or parsley.

If you want to keep your luncheon easy for you, place bowls of various salads on the table along with a huge basket of Cream Puffs and let your guests serve themselves.

Hope I have given you good ideas for your next party.

Enjoy!
