Cream Puff Paste

Directions

1. 1
   Put butter, milk, sugar and salt in a saucepan.
2. 2
   Bring to a boil.
3. 3
   When boiling, add the flour and stir up briskly until the paste is smooth.
4. 4
   (If the paste is removed from the fire too soon, the puffs may not spring properly during the baking process.) After taking from the fire, mix in one egg at a time and work well each time before adding another egg.
5. 5
   When all the eggs are added, drop on a baking sheet, the size of an egg yolk for puffs, or in finger shapes for eclairs and bake in an oven at 350°.
