These lovely treats are in my Feb/March 2004 TOH issue.
They are delicious. I found when I made them that I wanted the filling a but more tart, so I added an extra 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice.

LEMON FILLING
How to Make Lemon Cream Puffs
- 1In a large saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt all at once, stirring until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth.
- 2Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.
Immediately split puffs and remove tops; discard soft dough from inside. Set puffs and tops aside to cool. - 3For filling, in a small heavy saucepan, combine the egg, sugar, lemon juice and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Transfer to a small bowl; refrigerate until partially set.
In a large bowl, beat cream and sugar until stiff peaks form; fold into lemon mixture. Fill cream puffs; replace tops. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
