[Sarah Edwards in writing to her daughter Esther at the death of her husband, Jonathan, said], “My Very Dear Child, What shall I say? A holy and good God has covered us with a dark cloud. O that we may kiss the rod, and lay our hands on our mouths! The Lord has done it. He has made me adore his goodness, that we had him so long. But my God lives; and he has my heart. O what a legacy my husband, and your father, has left us! We are all given to God; and there I am, and love to be. Your ever affectionate mother, Sarah Edwards.”

minute. Remove from heat.
3. Add eggs, one at a time, beating hard after each addition with wooden
spoon or electric hand mixer,until paste is shiny and smooth. Shape and
bake following your  recipe instructions for making the puffs and filling
with a creamy filling of your choice. Usually the recipes will call for

beads of moisture left on puff. Test by taking a puff out of the oven and
if it does not fall it is done.
