As promised, here is the recipe for the sweets shown in my Romance Your Hubby post. Hope your man enjoys them as much as mine did! :)

Sweet Pudding Puff Pastries

Filling: Decide on what you want your filling to be and prepare that according to the directions. Keep it chilled in the fridge until your puffs are complete.

Pastry Puff Shells:

* Preheat oven at 400 degrees 

• 1 cup water
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt {I used salted butter so I left this out}
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 1/2 eggs {use three eggs and the only the egg white of another}

1. In a medium size pan combine water, butter, sugar and salt (if needed). Bring to a boil.
2. Lower temperature to low and add flour. Stir the mixture until it forms a ball. Transfer the pastry to your mixing bow. Let it cool completely. 
3. Once cooled (10-20 minutes) turn on the mixer and add one egg at a time. Keep beating the pastry until it is smooth and thick.
4. Using a tablespoon drop mounds of the dough onto a parchment lined sheet. 
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes and then lower the temp to 350 and bake for 25 minutes more. They should be golden brown on the outside and moist on the inside when done. Once cooled, split in half with a bread knife.

Lastly, fill with your pudding and enjoy! :)
