Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 2 sticks butter
- 2 cups flour
- 8 eggs 
 
Small, bite-sized puffs of choux dough are very versatile with different fillings. They are easily
made for sandwich spreads, sweets, or ice cream desserts.
 
Directions
  • Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  • Boil water and butter in a small sauce pan. Add flour and
    stir briskly over low flame until a ball forms.
  • Remove mixture from heat and beat in eggs,

with wooden spoon, one at a time in order to keep batter smooth. Continue to beat with wooden
spoon until smooth.
  • If making dessert puff pastry or a small bite-sized sandwich, use a
    smaller kitchen spoon, like a typical table spoon, to drop dough onto ungreased pan, placing dough
    3-inches apart (if a larger puff is desired, use a serving spoon for portioning the dough onto
    the ungreased pan).
  • Bake 40 to 45 minutes until lightly browned. As the crust browns, the
    inside opens up (Undercooking results in a sticky inner dough and a less open texture).
  • Remove
    from oven and set aside to cool.
