1/4 cup sweet butter
1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Eggnog Filling
2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups bottled eggnog
1 tablespoon rum

In a small saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil, stir until batter is melted. Add flour and salt all at once, and continue cooking, stirring constantly, until mixture forms a ball and no longer clings to side of saucepan. Remove from heat. Add 1 egg at a time and beat after each addition, continue beating until mixture has a silky sheen. Place 1 tablespoon of mixture on a greased baking sheet, spread into oblong shape until 4 inches repeat nine times. Bake at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes

Cool. With a very sharp knife slice off tops, remove bits of soft dough from inside
