1
Place the water, butter and
salt in a pan, and bring to
the boil, stirring all the time.
2
Take the pan off the heat,
add the fl our to the boiling
water, and mix until a smooth
ball forms. Continue to heat the
mixture until a white deposit
forms in the bottom of the pan.
3
Transfer the mixture to a
bowl, and mix in the eggs
one at a time until the dough
stands up in satiny peaks. Fi-

Fill a large piping bag fi tted
with a no. 11 star nozzle
with the mixture, and pipe
rosettes for choux buns or strips
for éclairs onto a universal tray.
Bake till golden (see below for
settings). Whilst still warm, cut
the buns or éclairs in half hori-
zontally with a pair of scissors
and allow to cool. Remove and
discard any of the centre that is
still moist.
