Homemade Cream Puffs

Thinking back on my childhood, I can remember so many recipes that I absolutely loved.  Homemade Poppy Seed Cake, Old-Fashioned Raspberry Freezer Jam, and Homemade Chicken Dumpling Soup are just a few that take me straight back to my younger days.  It's always comforting to make and enjoy something delicious that one of my grandmas used to make.  

Today I want to share another one of my Great-Grandma Olga's specialties!  The first time I made these Homemade Cream Puffs, I was amazed at just how easy they were!  I was also quite pleased at how much they tasted just like grandma's!  Light and fluffy puffs smothered with homemade whipped cream and topped with sliced bananas...delicous and irresistible! 

This is a simple, sweet treat that will soon become a family-favorite of yours as well!  Check out the recipe below and prepare to be amazed!
