How to make cream puff pastry:

Sift flour and measure. Add salt and sift again. Combine shortening and boiling water in saucepan. Keep over low heat until butter is melted. Add flour all at one time and stir vigorously over low heat. Add unbeaten eggs, 1 at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Continue beating until a thick dough is formed. Drop by tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet, about 2-inches apart. Bake at 425° about 50 minutes or until beads of moisture no longer appear on surface. Do not open oven door during early part of baking. When cool, cut top off each and fill with cream filling or pudding. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Yields 12 large cream puffs.
