Boil water with butter and salt in a saucepan.

Once it reaches a rolling boil, add the flour all at once and stir vigorously until it forms a dough.

Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding eggs one at a time, mixing until you have a smooth batter.

Pipe the batter into large round mounds on a baking sheet.

Bake at a temperature of about 190 to 200°C for around 25 to 30 minutes until puffed and golden.

Make a small hole at the bottom of each pastry and pipe in the whipped cream filling.

Melt high quality dark or bittersweet chocolate with a bit of butter for the glaze.

Sweeten the chocolate with honey or syrup to achieve a glossy finish.

Dip the tops of the filled pastries into the chocolate glaze and allow them to set.

Refrigerate the pastries after glazing to keep everything fresh.
