2 oz Butter
1/4 pint water
3 oz Plain Flour
2 eggs
Preheat the oven to
180C. Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with non-stick spray or
lining it with baking paper.
Boil the water in a small
pan and add the butter and allow to melt. Add all the flour in at
once and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes away from the sides
of the pot.
Remove from the heat and
place the mixture in the bowl of your mixer. Beat the flour mixture for about 1
minute so that it can cool and then add the eggs one by one, beating in between
each addition of eggs.
Spoon the mixture into a
piping bag and pipe 3inch long choux buns on the baking paper.
Bake for 20 minutes, remove
from the oven and make a small cut on the side of each choux bun to release the
steam. Place back in the oven, with heat now reduced to 160C.
Bake for another 5 minutes
or until choux buns have now hardened. Remove from the oven and allow to cool
on a wire rack.
