Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Place the water, butter, and salt in a saucepan. Place over medium-high heat and cook until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is simmering.
  3. Add in the flour all at once, and continue to cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until the dough gathers itself into a ball and a film begins to form on the bottom of the pot.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl, and beat on medium speed.
  5. Drop in the eggs, one at a time, while continuing to beat. Allow each egg to become fully incorporated, before adding the next (about 30 seconds to a minute).
  6. Pipe or spoon the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, allowing about 3 inches in between each puff.
  7. Bake time can range from 20-40 minutes, depending on size. Remove from the oven when they are puffed, golden brown, hollow, dry, and light.
