Beer Balls

Beer Balls

These are good, and so easy to make. They make for great appitizers.

Supplies:

~1 cup of beer
~1/4 pound butter (mmmmm, butter)
~1 cup flour
~1/2 tsp salt
~4 eggs
~Filling (try chicken salad, tuna salad or egg salad, or try cheese! Or come up with something of your own!)

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Grease a baking sheet (mmmmm,butter)In a large saucepan, heat the beer and butter (do I even need to say it again?) until it barely comes to a boil and the butter is melted. Add flour and salt, lower heat, and stir constantly until the mixure pulls away from the side of the pan and forms a ball. Remove from the heat and let cool for 1 minute. Add eggs, one at a time, beating each one in until the dough is shiny. Drop dough in 1 inch rounds onto buttered baking pan. Bake it 10 minutes at 450 degrees. Reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake an additional 10 minutes until brown and dry. Let cool away from moisture. Split the puffs and fill with your choice of fillings.

Makes about 60 to 80 small puffs!
