Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan.

Step 3

Add the butter to the water and stir until it is melted.

Step 4

Add the flour and salt all at once to the water mix.

Step 5

Remove from heat, and add 1 egg. Beat. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the remaining eggs 1 at a time, and beat after each addition.

Step 8

Let stand for 10 minutes.

Step 9

You can drop with a spoon OR put the dough into a ziplock bag, snip the corner off, and pipe the dough on to the cookie sheet. This is the method I chose!

Step 10

Use a heaping tbsp for each puff. (See picture below.) Make sure they are about 2 inches apart.

Step 11

Bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven. Start checking them around 20 minutes. Mine took 30 minutes.
