Cream Puff Pie

Serves 6

Ingredients:

CRUST:
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs

FILLING:
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups whipped cream, divided
Chocolate sauce and/or fresh raspberries, optional

In a large saucepan, bring water, butter and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat beat in eggs, one at a time. Continue stirring vigorously until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Spread in the bottom and halfway up the sides of a well-greased 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 400° for 35-40 minutes. Cool completely. For filling, combine sugar, flour and salt in the top of a double boiler. Stir in eggs and milk until smooth. Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove from the heat stir in vanilla. Cool. Fold in 1 cup of whipped cream. Pour into the crust. Top with remaining whipped cream. Chill for 2 hours.
