Ingredients

1 1/4 c water

5 T butter

3/4 c flour

4 eggs

1 t limoncello

1 T vanilla

powdered sugar

Directions

In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil over high heat.

As soon as water comes to a boil remove pan from heat add limoncello and vanilla then add the flour all at once.

Stir immediately till smooth

Add the butter and return the pan to medium heat and keep stirring. The flour and water will form a ball. Stir until the ball no longer sticks to the sides of pan.

Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Add eggs one at a time, stirring each egg completely into the dough before adding the next.

Let the batter rest for 15 min.

Using a soup spoon, place spoon size pieces of batter on a greased cookie sheet. Leave at least 2 inches between each.

Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 375 degrees. Bake for another 15 - 20 minutes, until golden brown. They will be doubled in size.

Turn off the oven and let the pastries "dry" in oven. Don't remove until they are completely cool.

Gently open and fill with pastry cream or custard
