1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Water
1 Stick butter, melted
4 eggs
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a medium size sauce pan, bring water to boil.
Add melted butter and reheat to boiling point
Add flour, stirring rapidly.
By the time the flour has absorbed the liquid, the batter should leave the sides of the pan when stirred. Remove from the heat immediately.
Briskly beat one egg at a time until all four eggs have been incorporated into the batter completely.
Spoon 1/2 teaspoon full of the batter onto a well-greased cookie sheet; allowing 1-inch clearance all around each spoonful. (for small puffs)
If you are making large puffs 1 tablespoon of batter, allow 2 to 3-inches between each spoonful.
Bake puffs at 400 for 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to 200 and bake for an additional 30 minutes. They should be a nice golden brown color.
Makes 72 small or 16 large puffs.
Cool completely. Split horizontally and fill with your heart's desire.
If filling with custard or pudding, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate.
