butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.

eggs

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: egg replacer

Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds well.

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Combine water, butter, salt, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.

Bring mixture to a boil until butter is melted and water is bubbling.

Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously until dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth and glossy.

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

Pipe small mounds onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.

Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
