Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and generously grease several cookie sheets. In a medium saucepan, combine the salt, boiling water, and butter. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to medium. Immediately add the flour, stirring vigorously until the dough forms a ball in the center of the pan. Cool slightly. Then add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until the mixture is smooth and very stiff. Drop the balls onto the prepared cookie sheet about one inch apart by the teaspoonful. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the puffs are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the puffs comes out clean. Cool completely. Cut the top half from each puff and fill with the salad (recipe below). Replace each top and arrange on serving tray. Serve chilled or at room temperature. |

| This classic recipe is made easy by purchasing prepared salads from your local deli. You can also use your favorite ham, tuna, chicken, turkey, vegetable, seafood, or cheese mixture to stuff these delicate puffs. The mixture below is my favorite to serve at parties. Margarine can be substituted for the butter and egg substitute for the eggs with very good results. |
