Ingredients:

1 cup water
⅓ cup butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2 tsp sugar
Pinch salt

Preparation:

Add butter and water to saucepan and bring to boil on high heat.
Once boiling, add flour in 2 parts, stirring with spatula to create a thick paste.
Turn heat down to low-medium, and cook the paste for another 1-2 minutes, smearing the paste with the spatula, and scraping the sides the entire time.
Remove the hot paste and put into the bowl of a mixer.
Using paddle attachment, bring to a medium-high speed.
While mixer is running, add eggs one at a time, incorporating each egg for about 10-12 seconds.
Mix until all eggs are incorporated and the paste is sticky and glossy, then transfer to a piping bag.
Pipe while hot into desired shape and size.
Bake in a Convection oven at 375 °F, until firm and golden brown. Burst of steam optional.
