½ cup butter
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 TB sugar
4 eggs

a smooth paste and easily removes from the sides of the pan (about a
minute). Let cool and then add and mix in the eggs, one at a time
until all the eggs are used. the dough will be thick and shiny. Drop
by rounded spoonful onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake in
a preheated 400 degree hours for about 40-45 minutes depending on
the size of the puffs. They are ready when golden and firm. Cool,
cut top and fill with your favorite ice cream and top with chocolate
sauce.
Chocolate Sauce
Melt semi sweet chocolate pieces in a double broiler. Add one or two
pats of butter and about ¼ cup of cream or milk, a bit at a time
until you’ve reached the desired thickness.
