Step-by-Step Instructions
First, start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a medium saucepan, combine the water and butter, bringing it to a boil. Once the butter has melted and the water is bubbling, reduce the heat, and add the flour and salt, stirring vigorously until a smooth dough forms. This aroma already makes my mouth water! Allow this dough to cool for a few minutes before we move on to the next step. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
