Petits Choux
Ingredients.
Half a pint of Water.
Two ounces of Butter.
Four ounces of Flour.
One Yolk and two whole Eggs Essence of Vanilla or Orange.
A little Salt.
Put the water, butter, and salt into a stewpan; as soon as these begin to boil, draw the stewpan off the fire and add the flour, stir these well together over the fire with a wooden spoon until it becomes a soft paste; now add the flavouring and yolk of one egg, beat these well together and add the two whole eggs one at a time. Place this paste on a baking-sheet in round balls, bake a very light brown, and serve either plain or filled with whipped cream.
