Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the butter and the water in a heavy pot and heat until butter is melted. Mix flour and salt together. When the butter-water mixture comes to a boil, add the flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a firm ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Place the dough in the bowl of a food processor with the steel blade, and blend for 10 to 15 seconds.
With the motor running, add eggs, one at a time, through the feed tube. (Add sugar if making dessert puffs.)
Drop the dough from a teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet, or form into little eclairs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes. Reduce oven to 300 degrees and bake for 5 additional minutes, until the puffs are golden, Prick on the side to permit steam to escape. Cool on a rack.
When ready to fill, snip an opening with kitchen shears and fill using a pastry bag. |
