Cream Puffs

Oven, in the book's wordsA quick oven

Ingredients

Directions

The book says “a quick oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

  1. Prepare the Plain Cake batter.

  2. Pour the batter into jelly-cake tins.

  3. Bake in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 6 to 8 minutes.

  4. Test for doneness with a broom whisk.

  5. Once cooled, spread with jelly, marmalade, or your choice of filling.

  6. Ice the top or sift powdered sugar over it.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
