Ingredients
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup boiling water
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup sifted flour
2 large eggs
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Prepare baking sheet with vegetable pan-coating. Cut margarine into
pieces; boil water and salt in a saucepan; add margarine and bring to a
vigorous boil. Add flour all at once. Keeping heat low, stir rapidly to
blend; then beat strenuously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a
ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat; allow to
cool a few minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating vigorously after each
addition.
Drop 2 level tablespoons onto prepared sheet for each shell; place batter
at least 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10 minutes; reduce heat to 400 degrees and continue baking until
puffs are firm and browned, about 25 minutes.
Transfer to wire rack; slit each puff with the tip of a sharp knife to
allow steam to escape. Let cool before filling.
This recipe yields 9 shells.

Superfoods containing lycopene (includes melon, red peppers and sweet gourd) The phytochemical lycopene is a simple coloring agent and one of the same family of phytochemicals as carotene. Lycopene is responsible for the red color of some natural foods. Unlike many other nutrients, lycopene does not degrade if cooked, but is noticeably made more effective by the cooking process. . Its most important benefit is that it is an antioxidant and is believed to be of use in the fight to lower the risk of contracting cancer. Lycopene is the strongest fighter of singlet oxygen, which is linked with skin aging. It is also thought by nutritionalists to slow down the development of atherosclerosis. Foods containing carotenes (includes cilantro, collard greens and winter squash) These colorful superfoods have high levels of the carotenoids believed to help in helping prevent cancer, specifically those cancers involving the esophagus and stomach. Many are also low in calories, so make sure you add them to your diet. |
