Ingredients
– 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons; 113 grams) Unsalted butter, cut into pieces
– 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Water
– 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) Milk (2% or whole)
– 1/4 teaspoon Salt
– 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
– 1 cup (125 grams) All-purpose flour
– 4 Large eggs, beaten
– 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk or water Egg wash
Instructions
1-Gather and measure all ingredients accurately; prepare baking sheet with parchment paper.
2-In a saucepan, combine water and butter; bring to a boil over medium heat until butter melts completely.
3-Remove from heat; add flour all at once and stir vigorously until mixture forms a ball that pulls away from the pan.
4-Return to heat briefly to dry the dough slightly; then transfer to a mixing bowl to cool.
5-Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition to ensure proper emulsification.
6-Pipe the dough onto prepared sheet in desired shapes; maintain spacing for expansion.
7-Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 10 minutes, then reduce to 180°C (350°F) and bake for another 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed.
8-Cool completely on a wire rack before filling or serving. For dietary adaptations, use appropriate flour substitutes and egg alternatives from the ingredients section.
