Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
  • 4 to 6 large eggs

Method

  • In a heavy saucepan bring water to a boil with butter and salt over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to moderate.
  • Add flour all at once and beat with a wooden spoon until mixture pulls away from sides of pan, forming a dough
  • Transfer dough to bowl of a standing electric mixer and beat in 4 eggs, 1 at a time, on high speed, beating well after each addition.
  • Batter should be stiff enough to just hold soft peaks and fall softly from a spoon.
  • If batter is too stiff, in a small bowl beat remaining 2 eggs lightly, 1 at a time, and add to batter, a little at a time, beating on high speed, until batter is desired consistency.
