Cream Puffs from my Grandma Hansen

1 c boiling water
1/2 c butter
1/4 t salt
1 c flour
4 eggs

Boil water.  Add butter.  Add flour and salt and stir well until mixture leaves the side of the pan.  Remove from heat. Cool.  Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.  Drop by spoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.

Bake at 450 for 20 minutes until well risen and set. Reduce heat and bake until puffs are dry about 30 minutes.

When ready to serve, slice a slit on the top of each and fill with cream filling or whipped cream.  Sprinkle the top with powdered sugar.
