Bring the water or milk with the butter, salt and sugar to a boil till the butter is melted. Add while stirring the sifted flour and keep beating until the dough releases from the pan like a ball . Push the dough flat a few times and remove the pan from the heat.

Put the dough in a deep bowl and let cool for 5 minutes. Add, beating well, the eggs 1 by 1. Each egg must be completely taken by the dough before adding the next.

Beat well till the dough gets shiny . Let the dough cool.

Add the baking powder and vanilla sugar to the dough when it's cold.

See for the baking temperature and oven times the mentioned puffs recipes.

Never open the oven door while baking. You can open it about 5 minutes before the end of the baking time. The smallest bit of cold air can course the batter to collapse .
