Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Boil water, butter, and salt or sugar. Add flour and remove from heat. Work mixture together and return to heat. Continue working the mixture until all flour is incorporated and dough forms a ball. Transfer mixture into bowl of a standing mixer and let cool for 3 or 4 minutes. With mixer on stir or lowest speed add eggs, 1 at a time, making sure the first egg is completely incorporated before continuing. Once all eggs have been added and the mixture is smooth put dough into piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe immediately into golfball-size shapes, 2 inches apart onto parchment lined sheet pans. Cook for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 350 degrees F and bake for 10 more minutes or until golden brown. Once they are removed from the oven pierce with a paring knife immediately to release steam.
PATE CHOUX WITH PUDDING
A friend gave me this dough recipe, which works beautifully every time and leaves you with a perfectly puffy, hollowed out shell. The pudding recipe I included along with it comes from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook, but the filling options for these are endless and there's room for creativity. You can stuff the puffs with tuna or crab salad as an appetizer, or as I have here, use them as a desert with pudding, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Steps:
- First, prepare pudding.
- In a large saucepan, stir flour, sugar, and milk together.
- Stir continuously, cooking over medium heat, until bubbly.
- Cook, while stirring, for two minutes more.
- Remove from heat and stir about a cup of the milk mixture into the eggs gradually.
- Add this egg mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk mixture and cook until NEARLY bubbly, avoiding a boil.
- Cook on low heat for two minutes more, stirring.
- Stir in the vanilla, cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap, and chill until serving time.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the water, oil, sugar, and salt in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Add all of the flour and stir well with a wooden spoon until dough forms a distinct ball in the middle of the saucepan.
- Cook a minute longer, while mashing and mixing the dough.
- Remove from the heat and let rest to cool for two minutes.
- Beat each egg into the dough, one by one.
- Drop the dough, in smoothed mounds, onto a greased baking sheet and bake about 25 minutes.
- For assembly, use a serrated knife to cut almost entirely around each puff three-quarters of the way up, to make a lid.
- Scoop out any excess dough that may be left inside, and spoon some filling into each puff, replacing the lids after finishing.
- Dust in a light coating of powdered sugar for presentation.
