Ingredients:  
1/2 cup margarine
1 c boiling water
1 cup sifted four
4 eggs, unbeaten
2 1/4 cup milk
1 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp butter

Directions:
Heat oven to 400º. Heat butter with boiling water until butter melts and mixture boils again. Turn heat down and add flour. Stir vigorously until it leaves the sides of the pan and forms a smooth ball. Remove from heat. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition until it has a satin-like sheen.

Drop onto a greased cookie sheet 3 inches apart. Bake 50 minutes. Once out of the oven, either make slits or cut off the tops to allow steam to escape. Allow to cool.

In a saucepan, whisk 2 cups of milk with the sugar. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Whisk the egg yolks together. Temper the hot milk into the egg yolks. Whisk the egg mix back into the hot milk. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1/4 cup milk to make a slurry. Whisk into the hot milk. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 4-6 minutes. Fold in the vanilla and butter. Mix well. Place into container and cover surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until cool.

Fill cream puffs. Can top with satiny chocolate glaze (in the icing section)
