Time 30m

Yield 48 bite sized puffs, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
6 tablespoons butter, I used unsalted
1 tablespoon sugar, for sweet
1/8 teaspoon salt, for sweet
1 teaspoon salt, for savory
5 3/4 ounces flour
4 large eggs
2 egg whites

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Boil water, butter and salt or sugar.
Remove from heat and add flour; stir quickly and return to heat.
Keep stirring until all flour is mixed in and dough forms a ball.
Move dough into the bowl of a stand mixer; let cool for 5-7 minutes.
With mixer on low, add eggs one at a time; make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding another.
After all eggs are mixed in and dough is smooth, put the dough into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
Pipe golfball size shapes, 2 inches apart on parchment lined sheet pan.
Wet a finger and smooth any points or they may burn.
Cook at 425 for 10 minutes, then drop temperature down to 350 and bake 10 more minutes or until golden brown.
Once they are removed from the oven, pierce them with a paring knife, or slice open to release steam.
