Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a saucepan, add butter, a little sugar, water, and 2 pinches of salt.

Turn the heat up and bring the mixture to a simmer, melting the butter.

Once the butter is melted and the mixture is simmering, add the flour and mix to form a paste.

Cook the paste long enough to eliminate the floury taste, ensuring there are no flour chunks.

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly for about 3 minutes.

Add one egg at a time to the paste, mixing thoroughly until each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
