Ice Cream Puffs

In a small saucepan, bring to a boil the water, butter, salt and sugar.

Add all at once the flour and cook the paste over a low heat, beating it briskly and constantly until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture clearly leaves the sides of the pan and forms a ball.

Remove pan from heat and beat in the eggs one at a time.

(If eggs are unusually small, use an extra one.) Drop tablespoon on greased cookie sheet.

Bake in hot oven (425°) for 15 to 18 minutes.

Reduce oven to 375° and bake until golden brown and feels light in the hand.

If puffs brown too quickly, cover with a piece of paper.
