"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a Medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup butter, 1 tsp sugar and 1/4 tsp salt. Bring just to a boil over medium heat then remove from heat and stir in 1 cup flour all at once with a wooden spoon.
One flour is incorporated, place back over medium heat stirring constantly for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes to release extra moisture and dough will come together into a smooth ball.
Transfer dough to a large mixing bowl and beat using an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute to cool mixture slightly. Add 4 eggs, 1 at a time, allowing to fully incorporate between additions. Beat another minute until dough is smooth and forms a thick ribbon when pulled up.
Spoon onto pan keep them a couple inches apart and avoid making peaks* but if you do get peaks, wet finger tips lightly with water and smooth them out.
Bake at 425˚F for 10 minutes in the center of the oven. Without opening oven, reduce temp to 325˚F and, bake 20-22 min longer or until golden brown on top.
Turn oven off and with oven door slightly open let puffs dry for another 10 min. Remove from oven and cool. When cool cut them in half or pipe them with whipped cream on the bottom half, add peaches, strawberries or raspberries and cover with top half. Dust with icing sugar.
