2 cups milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup shortening
1 cup water
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt

  • For the custard: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar, 5 tablespoons flour and a pinch of salt. Stir in milk, a little at a time, until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil 60 seconds, then pour a small amount of hot liquid into the 2 egg yolks, and stir.

These cream puffs were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still delicious. I would definitely make them again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling.
