1/2 c. shortening (probably butter, can't feature lard!)
1 c. boiling water
1/3 tsp. salt
4 eggs

Combine the shortening and water in saucepan and bring to boiling point. Add flour and salt all at once and stir rapidly until mixture leaves sides of pan. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.

Then beat in unbeaten eggs, one at a time. Drop on cookie sheet by spoonfuls (depending on size you want). Bake 30 minutes in moderately hot 375 degree oven. When cold, split side and fill with sweetened whipped cream or cooked cream filling.
