CHOCOLATE ECLAIRS - CREAM PUFFS 
1 c. water
1/2 c. butter (1 stick)
1 tsp. sugar
1 c. flour
4 eggs

GLAZE:

Mix together: 1 tsp. vegetable shortening

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In large saucepan bring water, butter and sugar to rolling boil. Add flour all at once. Stir vigorously with wooden spoon and cook for 1 minute until mixture forms thick, smooth ball that leaves sides of saucepan easily. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Add eggs, one at a time, until mixture is shiny and smooth; breaks away in strand. Mixture will separate with each egg, but continue stirring and it will smooth out and hold its shape.

For Cream Puffs: Drop dough by rounded teaspoons 3 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

For Eclairs: Shape into 4 x 1 1/2 inch strips. Bake 40 minutes until golden brown, fill with your favorite custard or pudding. Top with glaze or powdered sugar.
