Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat water and butter to a rolling boil in saucepan. Sift in flour. Stir vigorously over low heat until mixture forms a ball (about 1 minute). Remove from heat. Beat in egg thoroughly, 1 at a time. Beat until smooth. Drop from spoon onto ungreased baking sheet into 8 mounds 3 inches apart. Bake 45-50 minutes or until puffed, golden brown and dry. Allow to cool slowly, away from drafts. Cut off tops with sharp knife. Scoop out soft dough. Fill with sweetened whipped cream or filling for vanilla cream pie, or rich custard filling. Replace tops. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
