Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup enriched Hour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Bring water and butter to boil; stir until butter melts. Add flour and salt all at once; reduce heat and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and forms a soft ball, one to two minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Drop batter by tablespoons onto a greased baking sheet to form an 8-inch circle. Leave about 1 inch between each puff portion. Bake at 400° for about 30 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned.
