Ingredients
- one cup hot water
- one cup sifted flour
- one-quarter cup butter
- four eggs
- one egg at a time until all are used
Directions
One cup hot water, one cup sifted flour, one-quarter cup butter, four eggs. Put the water and butter in a sauce pan over the fire, and when it boils add all the flour at once and stir quickly over the fire until it forms a ball which leaves the pan. Set aside until partly cool then add one egg at a time until all are used. Then heat vigorously for about five minutes. Drop teaspoonfuls on a buttered tin about two inches apart. Bake in a rather quick oven twenty-five or thirty minutes. In the baking lies the success. If removed before done they will fall. Excellent. — Mrs. P. A. Melick. Williams, Ariz.
