Directions:
Make pudding with half and half, refrigerate. Heat water, butter, and salt to a rolling boil in 2 ½-quart saucepan. Stir in flour; reduce heat. Stir vigorously over low heat about 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball; remove from heat. Beat in eggs, all at once; continue beating until smooth. Drop dough by scant ¼ cup full about 3 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes at 400° or until puffed and golden brown. Cool away from draft. Cut off top one-third of each half and pull out any filaments of soft dough. Fill puffs with cream filling. Replace tops and dust with powdered sugar. Refrigerate until serving time

Personal Notes:
Instead of powdered sugar I usually top with a spoon fill of Mom's Fudge Icing that is still warm.
