-
Combine water, butter, salt and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir
-
occasionally.
-
Once it boils, remove from heat and sift in the flour, stirring to combine completely.
-
Return the pot to heat and cook, stirring constantly until the batter dries slightly and begins to pull
-
away from the sides of the pan. Takes just a minute or so.
-
Transfer to a bowl and stir to bring the temperature down.
-
Add 1 egg. The batter will appear loose and shiny and look like you ruined it. But you didn't.
-
As you stir, the batter will come together and look like lightly buttered mashed potatoes.
-
At this point that add in the next egg. Repeat until you have incorporated all the eggs.
