Cream Puffs

1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
3 eggs
Salt

In a medium saucepan combine butter, 1 cup water  and 1/8 teaspoon salt.  Bring to boiling.  Add flour all at once stirring vigorously.  Cook and stir till mixture forms a ball that doesn't separate.   Remove from heat.  Add eggs one at a time beating with a wooden spoon after each addition until smooth.  
Drop batter by heaping tablespoons, 3 inches apart onto a greased baking sheet.  Bake in a 400 oven for 30-35 minutes or till golden.  Cool on wire rack.  Split puffs and remove any soft dough inside.  Fill with pudding, whipped cream, ice cream sherbet or fruit.  (or chicken salad, tuna salad, or any number of things)
