Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1⁄2 stick (4 tbsp) unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1⁄2 cup flour
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
Method
Make Dough
- In a metal pot on medium heat, with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon
- Melt the butter, water, and salt together until just simmering
- Add in flour, turn down heat
- Stir and smear until the dough forms a ball and leaves a film on the pan
- Transfer to a mixing bowl and break apart to let cool
- Whisk in the eggs one at a time (or beat first and add at once)
- Transfer into a piping bag
Shape & Bake
- Preheat oven to 450°F
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat
- Pipe onto sheet tray
- Transfer tray into the oven and reduce to 350°F
- Bake until browned and puffed (30–40 mins)
- Open the door and let cool slowly in the turned off oven
Notes
I needed closer to 40 mins in my oven.
This can easily be doubled, with 1⁄2 cup milk and 1⁄2 cup water for the liquid.
