Recipe - Pate A Chou

1 One fourth cup Water
1 One half Sticks unsalted butter; cut
into pieces
; (Three fourths cup)
One half teaspoon Salt
1 One half cup Unbleached flour
4 lg Eggs; up to 6

In a heavy saucepan bring water to a boil with butter and salt over high
heat. Reduce heat to moderate. Add flour all at once and beat with a wooden
spoon until mixture pulls away from sides of pan, forming a dough

Transfer dough to bowl of a standing electric mixer and beat in 4 eggs, 1
at a time, on high speed, beating well after each addition. Batter should
be stiff enough to just hold soft peaks and fall softly from a spoon. If
batter is too stiff, in a small bowl beat remaining 2 eggs lightly, 1 at a
time, and add to batter, a little at a time, beating on high speed, until
batter is desired consistency.
