Smile Basic Sweet Chou Pastry

3/4 cup milk
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp sugar
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour
3 eggs


Combine milk, butter, sugar and salt in heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved, stirring constantly. Beat in flour and eggs as directed in recipe posted above (Basic Chou Pastry).

Pipe out as desired on a lightly-greased baking sheet. Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 8 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 20 to 40 minutes longer, depending on the size of the puffs or éclairs, until dry. Cool on wire rack. Fill as desired.
