Raspberry Cream Puffs

1. 1

   To make the pate a choux, bring the butter, milk, 1/2 cup water and a pinch of salt to a boil. When the butter is melted, remove from the heat, add the flour all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until the the dough pulls away from the side of the pan. Transfer to a bowl, beat in 1 egg and allow to cool for 10 mins.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 400u00b0F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat the remaining eggs into the pate a choux, 1 at a time, then spoon the batter into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and pipe 15 swirls (about 2 inches diameter) onto the baking sheets. Bake one sheet at a time for 25 mins each, without opening the oven door while cooking. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once cool, cut the puffs in 1/2 horizontally.
