Put the flour, water, and butter in a saucepan and mix while the butter is melting.
When the water boils and the butter melts, add the salt. Mash the flour with a spatula.
When the mixture reaches the consistency of dough, keep cooking for 1 minute while crushing with a spatula.
Spread the dough on a clean kitchen counter and let it cool.
Set the oven to a fanless program at 190 degrees.
Once the dough has cooled down, put it in a mixing bowl and add the eggs one by one.
After adding all the eggs and mixing, transfer the dough into a piping bag.
Line a baking tray with baking paper, and make a small hole at the tip of the piping bag.
Squeeze the mixture in the bag onto the tray, about the size of a walnut.
Get your thumb wet and rub it lightly over the dough.
Bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes, until doubled in size. You can fill the doughs as you wish. Bon appetit.
