Introduction

Shhhhhh…listen

That rumbling sound is my husband and son stampeding towards these cream puffs

If you have my Edible Heirlooms cookbook you know how special Nan’s Cream Puffs are in our family

No celebration was complete without a batch of my mother-in-law’s cream puffs and the best ones were the “just because” batches

Following her death, I became keeper of the cream puff legacy and I’m sure that I’m doing her proud

Two of my most treasured possessions are the Tupperware container that she always stored them in, which I use only for this purpose and her fabulously funky Tupperware icing sugar sifter

This post is published on what would have been her birthday so I’ll be making a batch to mark the day

Enjoy!

I don’t see any mention of eggs in the ingredient list. How many do I need?
