    Directions:

    Prepare the Choux Pastry: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, water, and salt, stirring until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat, add the flour all at once, and stir vigorously until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

    Add Eggs: Let the dough cool for 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring thoroughly after each addition. The dough should be smooth and slightly glossy.

    Bake the Puffs: Using a spoon or piping bag, place small mounds of dough (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack
