Instructions

1
Combine the water, butter, 1 tbsp sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a full boil, stirring once or twice until the butter is completely melted.
2
Remove the pan from the heat and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together into a smooth, non-sticky dough that pulls cleanly away from the sides of the pan.
