Celebrating GMT new years in EST with one of the best tasty to PITA ratios in my mom's cookbook.
Preheat oven to 450f.
Bring 1 cup water, one stick butter, and a heavy pinch of salt to a bare simmer.
Remove from heat, add 1 cup flour all at once and stir vigorously until it forms a ball. Add 4 eggs ONE AT A TIME, stirring until each egg is incorporated before adding the next.
Allow to cool slightly, before spooning the batter onto a cookie sheet or two, leaving plenty of space to puff, I usually make 12.
450f oven for 15 minutes, then turn down to 350f for another 30 mins or so until golden brown and they look dry with no butter bubbles.
Cool on rack and serve with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.
Cream puffs keep a day or three in tightly sealed containers.
En Guete and Merry New Year
