PATIO-PICNIC PUFFS 
3 c. all-purpose flour, approx.
2 tsp. active dry yeast
1 tsp. each salt and pepper
4 tbsp. each milk and water
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs
Sliced cooked ham, chicken and processed American or Swiss cheese
1 egg yolk, beaten with 1 tbsp. water

1. In medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour, the yeast, salt and sugar.

2. In small saucepan, heat milk, water and butter until warmed (butter need not melt).

3. Add to dry ingredients. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour. Beat at high speed for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups flour or enough to make a soft dough.

4. Turn out on lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic. Place in oiled bowl, turning to oil top. Cover and let rise in warm place 45 minutes or until light.

5. Punch down and shape into a roll. Cut off two thirds and shape into 8 smooth balls. Shape remainder into 8 smaller balls. Cover with bowl and let rest 10 minutes.

6. On unfloured surface, roll large balls to 6 inch circles. Press evenly into 8 (6 oz.) custard cups. Fill generously with ham, chicken and cheese, alternating slices.

7. Pat out remaining balls to fit tops. Cut slits for steam to escape. Adjust on cups and brush with egg yolk mixture.

8. Bake below center of oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until well browned. Serve slightly warm or cool.
