- Preheat oven to 425* or 450 degrees F. (My oven runs hot I usually use the lower temp) Prepare cookie sheet by lining with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring until butter melts completely. Reduce heat to low, and add flour and salt. Stir vigorously until mixture leaves the sides of the pan and begins to form a stiff ball. Remove from heat. And place in stand mixer use stir or gentlest setting to remove steam from batter.
- Add eggs, one at a time to the batter, beating well to incorporate completely after each addition. Spoon or pipe dough onto lined cookie sheet.
- Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce heat to 325 degrees F by having oven door slightly ajar for a moment, and bake 20 minutes more, until hollow sounding when lightly tapped on the bottom. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the filling, combine pudding mix and milk in medium bowl according to package directions. In a separate bowl, beat the cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Beat in 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Fold whipped cream into pudding. Cut tops off of cooled pastry shells with a sharp knife. Fill shells with pudding mixture and replace tops.

Stir in 1 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in hot water, one tablespoon at a time, until icing is smooth and has reached desired consistency.
