Steps

1

Heat oven to 400*C
2

Bring water to a boil in a thick bottom pot
3

Add butter
4

When the butter is melted, lower the stove top heat to low and add flour a little at a time until a ball forms in the pot. The ball should follow the spoon as you turn it.
5

Remove the dough from the stove and leave to cool down until it is cool or slightly warm. N.B. The dough must cool down before adding the eggs.
6

When the dough is cooled, using an electric mixer, add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Continue this process until all the eggs are added and a smooth paste is formed.
7

Place the mixture into an icing bag fitted with a star tip and form the puff shells similar to that of icing cupcakes. Be sure to oil the dish you wish to use properly and ensure that you form a full base for the shell then you follow the method of icing cupcakes.
8

Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until it is golden brown and small ears of water can be seen on the shells.

Serve with tuna or chicken paste!
