Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, sugar, and salt.
Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat and sift the flour directly into the pan.
Stir the mixture into a paste with a wooden spoon. Return the pan to a medium heat.
Stir the mixture until it pulls away from the sides of the pan and is slightly shiny, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer the paste to a medium bowl, and beat with a wooden spoon until slightly cooled, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each one thoroughly before adding the next.
Before adding the last egg, beat it in a small bowl. Adding it by tablespoons to the mixture, just until the batter is smooth and tight. If the batter starts to get loose, do not add all of the last egg
