SRC: Cream Puffs

I am really enjoying being apart of this club. I love finding new bloggers and new recipes. Sometimes, I find that a recipe will remind me of something I have been wanting to make. This month I was assigned the blog A Dusting of Sugar.  Rebecca's blog has tons of delicious looking baked goods. Since I have been trying to do more baking I narrowed it down to her cream puffs and Chocolate Beast.  As you can see the cream puffs won. In Wisconsin, the State Fair is known for their gigantic cream puffs (I have the best picture of Ron trying to eat one like a hamburger). I decided that I would try my hand at this tasty treat. The recipe has very few ingredients  and the filling is super simple. I also opted to use powdered sugar over dark chocolate because that is our traditional way to eat them. I ran into a small stumbling block because the instructions were a bit mixed up. However, I was able to figure out the ordering of the process, and the cream puffs came together very easily. I also cut back on the butter because the batter was a bit thin on my first round.  I also did not use almond extract and opted for a vanilla filling.

This dessert is wonderfully easy and tastes delicious. Thank you Rebecca! Check out the blog hope below to see other recipes by SRC members.
