My Camera Still Needs Replacing

Today I'll give you another favorite recipe of mine since I've not purchased a new camera yet. I've made a few changes to the recipe, but the original recipe came from the Elisabeth Elliot Gren newsletter. This Danish Puff never sticks around too long. Elisabeth says she makes it for Christmas, but once a year is just not often enough for me! Unlike my whole-wheat breads and muffins, this does not classify as a healthy snack, but it is goooooood!

Danish Puff

1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter or baking margarine
2 tablespoons water
----------
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter or baking margarine
3/4 cup flour
3 eggs
----------
Powdered sugar frosting

Mix 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup butter and 2 tablespoons water as for pastry crust. Divide in half; pat into approximately 12" x 3" strips on a cookie sheet. Then mix the 1 cup water with the 1/2 cup butter and bring to a boil. Add 3/4 cup flour and stir with fork. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, beating until smooth. Spread this on top of pastry. Bake 25 minutes at 325 degrees. Frost with powdered sugar frosting.

(Elisabeth's instructions say to bake this for one hour, but I have not found that we needed to bake it nearly that long. Do whatever you need to make it baked but not brown. I prefer to make my powdered sugar frosting runny enough that I can drizzle it in crisscross patterns all over the pastry.)
