Directions:
CREAM PUFFS-Preheat oven to 375º. Bring butter, water & salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Add flour all at once. Stir until mixture comes together & looks like mashed potatoes. Remove from heat. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well with a wire whisk after each addition. Beat until smooth & pasty. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto greased baking sheet, making 8 mounds. Bake for 45 min., or until puffed & golden. Remove from oven. Working quickly, with a small sharp knife make a 1/2 inch slit in the side of each puff. Bake 10-15 min. longer to let the steam escape from inside the puffs. Let cool on wire rack.
TOASTED PECAN SAUCE-Melt butter in medium pan. Stir in brown sugar & corn syrup. Bring to a boil; boil 1 min., stirring constantly. Gradually stir in whipping cream; return to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in toasted pecans. Keep warm.
TO SERVE- split puff in half. Scoop vanilla ice cream on bottom half. Place top half on & drizzle with sauce.
