Puff Pastry

• 6 Tablespoons Butter
• 1 Cup Water
• 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
• 1 Cup Flour
• 4 Eggs

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°.

In a saucepan, combine the butter and water and heat over medium heat until it comes to a low boil. Add the salt. Add the flour to the butter mixture all at once. Cook and stir until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball of dough.

Remove from heat and transfer to the bowl of a mixer. Let cool for a few minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, completely mixing between each addition.

Shape the pastry as desired. Use a 1/2-inch tip, pipe the mixture into golf-ball sized rounds for creampuffs or into 4-inch logs for eclairs.

Bake at 400° for 15 minutes then reduce the heat to 350° and bake for 20 to 30 minutes longer, until golden brown.
