Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and ½ cup of butter. Bring to a boil, then whisk in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until a dough forms. Stir for 2-3 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, then add 4 eggs one at a time.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pipe 4-inch lines of choux pastry onto a lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Cool completely on a wire rack.

  4. Blend 1 cup of raspberries until smooth. Strain to remove seeds and mix with 1 cup powdered sugar. Adjust thickness with more sugar if needed.
