I make this all the time and have never had a problem
1 cup water
4 oz (1 cube) unsalted butter
1 tsp salt
Bring to a boil- add all at once
1 cup A.P. flour
Stir and cook for about 10-15 sec Should be a semi dry blob. Add 4
eggs, one at a time with a wooden spoon- make sure it is well
incorporated before adding the next egg. Bake as directed
