4 eggs
whipped cream, fruit or pastry cream, for filling
chocolate sauce, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Place water, butter and sugar in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Once butter is completely melted, pour flour into the pan and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a thick dough.

5. Bake for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
