Instructions

Make the choux pastry

Place the butter and water in a small thick-bottomed saucepan and heat. Remove from the heat at the first boil. Pour in the flour all at once and stir with a spoon until the dough forms an elastic ball that easily detaches from the sides of the pan.

Add the eggs

Add the eggs one at a time, stirring constantly, then add the salt. The dough should have a smooth, firm texture.

Shape and bake

Preheat the oven to 150/180°C. Use two spoons to help form small balls, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave enough space between them, as the puffs will expand during baking. Bake for about 15 minutes.
