Directions:Bring margarine and water to boil in med. saucepan. Add flour and cook until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and let stand two or three minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each until mixture is smooth. Drop mounds onto greased cookie sheet, the number of mounds from 8 to 16 or more depending on desired size of puffs you want (from large to small).
Bake at 350 F for 35 to 45 minutes. Make a slit in each cream puff to allow steam to escape. Leave in oven at least five minutes (or longer) to cool. When ready to use cut tops off and clean out inside leaving a shell that is ready to fill with your choice of filling.
