I made a Choux Pastry today for my Cream Puffs. It is very easy to make and it only requires simple ingredients like flour, butter, salt and sugar.

1/2 teaspoon granulated white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) (57 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup (120 ml) water
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Glaze:
1 large egg

The dough expanded tremendously but it turned out great.
Tip: Baked for 400C for approximately 5minutes. Then lower the heat to 350 so it won't burn.
Dust with Powdered Sugar
and here is the finished product!
(I used a ready made Bavarian Filling)
