directions

  • Preheat oven to 425°; combine flour, cocoa powder and baking soda; set aside; in a saucepan over medium-high heat bring to a boil the water, butter,sugar and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture and continue cooking and stirring until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and a film forms on the bottom.
  • Scrape dough into a bowl and beat in eggs and yolk, one at a time, incorporating each thoroughly before adding the next.
  • Using a plastic bag with a corner snipped off or a pastry bag with a 3/4" plain round tip, pipe 1 1/2" rounds about 3/4" high onto a parchment lined baking sheet; flatten any pointed tops with a moist finger.
  • Bake 15 minutes; reduce heat to 325° and bake until no wet dough remains in center, about 30 minutes; cut into one of the puffs to test, there should be a slight dampness.
  • Cool on a wire rack; cut in half horizontally with a serrated knife and fill with choice of filling.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I’m a former interior designer and landscape designer. At the moment I get to enjoy being at home and working only when I want to. I like rollerblading, hiking, backpacking and trips to the ocean. I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and moved to the Northwest when I was thirty, over twenty years ago. I’m afraid they’ll have to bury me here in WA. This is God’s country and I’m never leaving. I have a smallish collection of cookbooks, preferring to use the library and a copy machine. Among my favorites though, are: Recipes 1-2-3, by Rozanne Gold, a collection of recipes containing no more than 3 ingredients (excepting water, salt and pepper); A Treasury of Great Recipes, by Mary and Vincent Price, recipes collected from friends and chefs of great restaurants around the world; The Mediterranean Diet Cookbook, by Nancy Harmon Jenkins, about a collection of cuisines I’m convinced are the healthiest in the world and The Low-Calorie Gourmet, by Pierre Franey. Currently my passions are our dogs, the garden, cooking, the natural world and of course, Dh. I can now add Zaar to that list of passions (translate: addiction). We have three dogs, two rescued and one adopted. They are Sugarpea, a Golden Retriever, Chickpea, a Llasa Apso and Sweetpea, a Shih Tzu; small, medium and large. We’re quite a sight out on the trail. One of the things I am most fond of about living here is the ability to vegetable garden year ‘round.
