Jo Murko’s Christmas Cream Puffs From Carole Murko
""Among my favorite of the sweets were the cream puffs. My Mom took pride in these. She was and still is a baking perfectionist. She knew exactly how the batter should be, how big to make them and then to add just the right amount of cream. When I got old enough to help, I spooned the cream into the puffs and arranged them on a serving plate when the guests arrived. My mom then showed us how to make a cream puff tree using simple sugar as the ‘glue”. This cream puff tree was a delight to our eyes. We could pluck off a cream puff with some candy attached to it and enjoy to our hearts content."..."
