Preparation
Step 1
In heavy saucepan, bring the water, butter and salt to boil over high heat; immediately remove from heat.
Add the flour all at once; stir vigorously with wooden spoon until mixture comes away from side of pan in smooth ball.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes or until film forms on bottom of pan.
Transfer to bowl; stir for 30 seconds to cool slightly. Make well in centre.
Using electric mixer, beat in 4 of the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat until shiny and pastry holds its shape when lifted.
Using pastry bag fitted with 1/4-inch (5 mm) plain tip or with spoon, pipe pastry into 1 1/4-inch (3 cm) round by 3/4-inch (2 cm) high mounds on pans.
Glaze: Beat an egg with 1 tbsp (15 ml) water; brush half over pastry, flattening tips and making sure glaze doesn’t drip onto pan.
Bake in 400 degree F oven for 20 minutes; rotate trays.
With knife, make small hole in bottom of each; bake for a few more minutes.
Transfer to rack; let cool.
