Choux Pastry Buns

1. Line a large baking tray with parchment and preheat the oven.
2. Sift the flour onto a plate, sprinkle the sugar over the top and set aside.
3. Crack the eggs into another bowl, beat them and set these aside too.
4. Put the butter and water into a saucepan and bring to the boil.
5. Remove the pan from the heat, quickly add the prepared flour and mix together well.
6. Return the pan to a gentle heat stirring vigorously for 30 seconds to make a soft dough.
7. Remove the pan again, add half the prepared egg to the pan and beat it into the dough.
8. Beat in the remaining egg to make a thick, smooth paste.
9. Take a good teaspoon of the paste, scrape onto a second teaspoon then scrape it back onto the original spoon to make a ball of paste and drop this onto the prepared baking tray. Repeat with the remaining dough or pipe small balls of dough onto the baking tray.
10. Bake for 25 - 35 minutes until golden brown and dry on the inside.
11. Remove the tray from the oven and make a cut in the side of each choux bun, to allow the steam to escape.
