1 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 tablespoon Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1/4 cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs

Custard Filling Ingredients

2 tablespoons Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated

Directions

1 – Cream Puff Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2 – Combine water, salt, Splenda Granulated Sweetener and butter in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until butter melts. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture leaves sides of pan and forms a smooth ball. The mixture resembles mashed potatoes. Remove from heat; cool 5 minutes.
3 – Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed with an electric mixer. Scrap down the sides of bowl occasionally and beat until batter is smooth.
