1 c. water
¼ c. butter
1 c. all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2/3 c. granulated sugar
¼ c. cornstarch
3 c. fat-free milk
2 slightly beaten egg yolks
1 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. sifted powdered sugar
Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a medium saucepan bring water, butter and ¼ tsp. salt to boiling. Add flour, all at once, stirring vigorously. Cook and stir until mixture forms a ball that doesn’t separate. Cool 10 minutes. Add the 4 eggs, 1 at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Drop batter by heaping tablespoons, 3 inches apart, onto prepared baking sheet, making 12 mounds. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown and puffy. Cool. Split cream puffs; remove any soft dough inside. Meanwhile, for pudding, in a heavy medium saucepan combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, and 1/8 tsp. salt. Stir in milk. Cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Gradually stir 1 cup of the hot mixture into the egg yolks. Return all to saucepan; bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Transfer to a bowl; cover surface with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour or until well chilled. To serve, fill bottoms of cream puffs with pudding; replace tops. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
