2 eggs, unbeaten
1/4 c. margarine
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 c. unsifted flour

Be sure oven has been preheated to 450 degrees. Bake 10 minutes, then lower to 400 degrees about 10 minutes until lightly brown. If beads of moisture appear on puffs after they are baked, they are moist inside and will not puff. Beating is important - it develops the gluten in the flour and gives puffs a glossy look. Fill with custard, pudding, creamed chicken. You can be creative for holidays. Do not fill puffs until cold and ready to serve - as they will be soggy.

3/4 c. white Karo corn syrup
Combine, shake, let settle 4 hours. Store, covered in refrigerator to extend suds shelf life. Allow to warm before using. Use Joy! Costs about $1.50 per gallon. Non-toxic but not for human consumption.BUBBLING TIPS:
1. Do not stir wand in suds to avoid foaming. 2. If foam develops, scrape off with stiff card. 3. Keep suds clean, avoid dirt, grass, bugs, etc. 4. Rotate play area around yard to avoid damage to plants. 5. 9"x13" cake pan works well. 6. Bubbles are best on humid days. 7. In cold weather, if suds feel cold, use electric fry pan on warm setting. 8. Bubble in sheltered areas on windy days. 9. Joy and Karo work best. Other brands don't work as well. 10. Protect suds from direct sun, sun weakens suds. 11. As with other similar products, if bubbles get in eyes, wash thoroughly with water. 12. Soap is an eye irritant. Use common sense.
