C8 - Suriday, November 14, 1982 - North Shore News STRICTLY FOR MEN error in A HANDSOME woman of unquestioned aplomb confessed to me that she was quite terrified of three things, and if you guess spiders, motorcycles and letters from the Receiver- General you're wrong too. No, the three things that render her white-faced and | trembling are not masked men, but cream-puffs; not tarantulas, but dumplings; not kamikaze taxi-drivers but meringues. Really. All of them are such push- . shouldn't be overs they aHowed ~~-to anybody. Each has funny - * have to be -: ways, that respected, but each has a Tecognizable stage of per- fection, so they always “turn out”. Grieve no more. Cream Puffs are the most easily subdued. And with the holiday season coming on, you might want to do a little razzie-dazzle with delicious puffed hors d'oeuvres or big | fat dessert puffs bulging with whipped cream and lapped with chocolate. Want to try? They're cheap, so your risk is largely your sense of adventure. Set your oven at 425F (215C) for tiny puffs, at 375F (190C) for big ones. Put % cup of butter (60m) in a the _ kitchen ‘ranger by Eleanor Godley © saucepan and pour 2 cup (125ml) of boiling water on it. Let it heat on medium until all the butter melts.

Take the pan off the heat and let things cool off for five minutes. Next, drop in an egg—not the shell too, silly—and beat with your spoon until it’s blended. Repeat with one more egg. It will get nice and smooth and shiny, and should be quite stiff. If you’re at all doubt- full, let it stand for ten minutes. Shaping the puffs is simply a matter of placing spoons full on to an ungreased cookie sheet, (Scm) two inches apart. For hors them ten minutes, reduced to 350F (180C) for ten more. For dessert puffs, a teaspoon or tablespoon, and bake them 40 minutes at 375F. They should look quite dry when done, and the test is to remove one to the counter— if it collapses, leave the others in for another 5 or 6 minutes. Let them get quite cold, then slit the side and insert your filling—for ‘“drinks- snacks,” cold chicken salad, or hot shrimp in a thick curried sauce. You invent one. For desert you can pile 5 or 6 of the tiny ones, full of ice-cream, into a pretty dish and pour melted chocolate or chocolate sauce over and call them — d'oeuvres, use a_ coffee spoon and bake at 425F for “profiteroles”.
