Ingredients

• Dough
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup rye flour
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs
• Caraway seeds
• Corned Beef Filling
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 (2 1/2 ounce) packages thinly sliced
• cooked corned beef, chopped
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons minced chives
• 2 tablespoons diced onion
• 1 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 10 small stuffed olives, chopped

Directions

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flours, parsley, garlic powder and salt all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes.
2. Beat in eggs, one at time. Beat until smooth. Drop batter by rounded teaspoons 2-in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Sprinkle with caraway. Bake at 400 degrees F for 18-20 minutes or until golden.
3. Remove to wire racks. Immediately cut a slit in each puff to allow steam to escape; cool. In a mixing bowl, combine the first eight filling ingredients; mix well. Stir in olives. Split puffs; add filling. Refrigerate.
4. Yield: 4 1/2 dozen.
