I have made these and they are fantastic. Unfortunately, I can't find the picture of them. The recipe is for the shells only. I think Grandma filled them with traditional plain whipped cream. I did a chocolate orange cream and then drizzled them with melted chocolate and they were divine. They're putsy to make and you need to keep them cold or the cream will melt all over and make a mess though, so they do require some planning ahead. They're definitely worth the effort though. It's been over a year since I made them. I believe I baked them at the lower temperature for longer because that was clearly Grandma's note, where the rest of the recipe must have originally come from a friend.
Cream Puff
1 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 c boiling water
1/2 c butter
1/2 c lard
4 eggs
Add the salt, butter, and lard to water. When this boils, add all the flour stirring constantly until mixture leaves the pan. Remove from the heat, add unbeaten eggs, one at a time, beating continually. Drop by teaspoon on buttered cookie sheet. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes or 325 for 25 minutes.
