Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup butter 1 stick cut into quarters
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 4 eggs room temperature

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water, butter, and salt to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the flour all at once and stir quickly with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball; remove pan from the heat.
  • Add 1 egg and beat with the wooden spoon to blend. Add the remaining eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. When the dough is smooth, spoon 1/4-cup mounds of dough onto a cookie sheet, leaving 2 inches between each dough mound.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden and puffy. Transfer the puffs to a wire rack and let cool completely. With a sharp knife, cut puffs in half horizontally before filling.
