LET'S START:
Prepare: Beat eggs.
Sift flour.
Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
SECOND:
Combine In a small pan combine butter, water, pinch of salt and sugar over medium heat bring to a boil.
Add flour at once using a wood spoon to mix it for few second with the heat.
Then take off from heat and keep mixing it vigorously.
THIRD:
Add eggs. Add beating egg little by little.
Mix it well each time.
Add the egg until smooth.
It has the perfect consistence when you pick up the dough and it doesn’t drip easily.
FOURTH:
Pipe them: Preheat oven to 375°F.
Put dough into pastry bag or ziplock bag and cut small corner off. You need a 1/2 inch tip.
Pipe a generous 1 inch dough mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
Wet your finger and smooth out the top.
BAKE THEM:
Bake them: Bake them around 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool it on the rack.
FILL THEM:
Fill them: Fill them with custard cream. (see my recipe here) Either cut them in half and spread custard cream between it or fill them with a pipe bag from the bottom.
If you like to built a Croquembouche (Cream Puff Tower) you need to fill them from the button with a pipe bag.
