Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup water

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for cream)
- 1 cup heavy cream (for filling)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a saucepan, melt butter with water and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Gradually stir in flour until combined.
- Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and mix in eggs one at a time until smooth.
