Cook Time:

Serves:

Ingredients

 * ½ cup butter


 * 1 cup boiling water


 * 1 cup sifted all purpose flour


 * ¼ tsp. salt


 * 4 eggs

Directions
1.Melt butter in boiling water. Add flour and salt all at one time. Stir. Cook until mixture forms a ball that doesn’t separate. Remove from heat. (Try to give the dough "stretch" by scraping the dough across the pan as you stir.)

2.Beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. The dough should be stringy. If it does not stretch when pulled, add a few drops of water. Drop from a spoon on an ungreased baking sheet.

3.Bake 20 minutes in preheated 425 degree oven. Let cool.

4.Cut off tops and fill with custard or desired filling.
