GRANDMA MARY'S CREAM PUFFS
This is my great grandma Mary's recipe for cream puffs. It takes a while, but is so worth it! It took a while trying to figure out the exact recipe as a lot of the ingredients were labeled as a handful of this and a heaping spoon of that. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine water, butter, and salt for pastries in a saucepan on the stove; bring to a brisk boil. Add flour, then turn off the heat and stir vigorously until mixture is smooth.
- Pour mixture into a large mixing bowl. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until mixture is thick and shiny. Spoon 12 dollops of the mixture onto each of the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 30 minutes, swapping racks halfway through. Remove to cooling racks and let cool, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine milk, condensed milk, sugar, eggs, and salt for filling in a pot over medium-high heat. When the mixture starts to steam, reduce heat to medium.
- Place cornstarch in a bowl and stir in about 2 tablespoons of the hot milk mixture. Stir vigorously until it's completely liquid, then pour into the pot with the remaining milk mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until custard thickens.
