Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 6 Tablespoons butter
  • pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 4 eggs

Instructions
 

  • Put the water, butter, salt, and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Take the saucepan off of the heat. Add the flour. Beat until everything comes together. Put back on the heat and beat vigorously until everything is off the sides of the pan. The dough will lump together and there will be a film on the bottom of the pan.
