Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Combine first 5 ingredients, stir well, set aside. Combine water, butter and salt in medium saucepan; bring mixture to boil. Reduce heat to low, add flour and stir vigorously until mixture leaves side of pan and forms smooth ball. Remove saucepan from heat and allow mix to cool slightly. Add eggs, one at a time, beating with wooden spoon after each addition. Beat until batter is smooth, add crab mix and stir well. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400 degrees F. for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F. and bake an additional 10 minutes. Serve puffs warm.

To freeze before baking, cover baking sheets with aluminum foil before dropping batter on them. Place unbaked puffs on sheets in freezer until hard. Remove from sheets and store in airtight can in freezer. To serve, remove from freezer, bake frozen at 375 degrees F. for 35 minutes. To freeze after baking, place puffs in airtight can in freezer. To serve, remove from freezer, thaw completely and bake at 350 degrees F. for 8 to 10 minutes. If you would like use 1 pound of crab meat, just double other ingredients. The additional crab meat really adds to flavor.
