In a medium to large sauce pan bring butter and water to a boil. Stir in flour and salt all at once and from this point on do not stop stirring. Cook flour mixture over medium heat till it no longer separates. Now remove from heat and continue stirring till the mixture cools slightly (only a couple minutes). Add eggs one at a time beating it in completely (until smooth) after each egg. It will look goopy at first after each addition don’t worry just keep beating till smooth. Fill Piping bag with mixture and pipe dollops (roughly a heaping teaspoon) of banner on to either greased or parchment lined cookie sheet. Leave 2 in. between puffs. Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on oven and size of puff till golden brown and puffed. Leave to cool while you make the filling. •
