Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s start this delicious journey! First, I melt the butter with water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once it’s bubbling, I stir in the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until everything is combined and forms a ball. This is where the magic begins! Off the heat, I add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is smooth. The aroma wafting through my kitchen is simply heavenly!
