Cream puffs
- 1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (divided use)
- 1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar (divided use)
- 1/8 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon salt (divided use)
- 2 cups skim milk (divided use)
- ¼ cup egg substitute
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- Glaze (recipe follows)
For cream filling: Place 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt and 13/4 cups milk in a medium microwavable bowl. Whisk well. Microwave on High (100 percent power) 4 to 5 minutes or until thick, stirring every minute.
Combine remaining 1/4 cup milk and egg substitute in a large bowl. Stir 1/4 of hot mixture into egg mixture and then blend all of egg mixture into remaining hot mixture. Microwave on High 1 minute; stir well. Stir in vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap, gently pressing plastic wrap down directly onto surface of pudding. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until chilled. (Makes 2 1/2 cups.)
For pastry shells: Preheat oven to 425 F. Cover baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Combine water, butter, 2 teaspoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in heavy saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon, until mixture comes to a boil; remove from heat. Add 1 cup flour, stirring well until mixture is smooth and pulls away from sides of pan.
Return pan to heat and cook 30 seconds. Remove from heat and add eggs and egg whites, one at a time, beating with a mixer at medium speed until just combined. Continue beating 1 minute.
Drop the dough into 12 mounds (slight 1/4 cup) about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes. Cool completely on a rack.
To assemble: Cut top third from each shell. Divide filling among shells; replace top. Drizzle with glaze. Makes 12 servings.
For glaze: In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons cocoa, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla and 2/3 cup powdered sugar. Stir in 2 tablespoons hot water to make thin glaze. Set aside.
