Choux paste, it is use to make cream puff and eclairs. You just have to pipe it the way it should be. :D

1 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted butter

Heat the butter and water gently until the butter melts. Increase the heat to maximum
 and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil.

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

Tip in all the flour, then remove form the heat and stir. A smooth paste will form which comes away form the pan in a clean ball. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Once the dough has become smooth, return in to the heat until it is dry and form a ball. Remove from the heat and beat in the eggs gradually, incorporating as much air as possible.
Continue beating until paste is smooth and very glossy.
Bake in 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes.
