2. In a small saucepan combine the water and butter. Bring to a boil. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously. Cook and stir until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat. Cool for 10 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition. Drop mixture in 8 mounds, 3 inches apart, on the prepared sheet.
3. Bake in a 400 F. oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer cream puffs to a wire rack; cool. Cut tops from puffs; remove soft dough from insides.
