Categories: Dessert
Yield: 14 2" puffs

1/2	c	Water
4	tb	Butter - (or margarine! -K.M.)
1/2	c	Flour
2		Eggs; at room temperature

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Combine the water and butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon. Return to moderate heat and stir constantly until the dough leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball. Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating hard until the dough is smooth. Place large, rounded tablespoons of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake for 30 minutes or until the puffs are golden. Carefully slice the tops off the puffs and scoop out the centers. Cool on a rack.
