1/2 cup (125 ml) water

2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter

2 tablespoons (30 ml) sugar

1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt

1/2 cup (125 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour

2 eggs

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 190 °C (375°F). Butter a 20-cm (8-inch) springform pan. Line bottom with parchment paper.

In a saucepan, bring water, butter, sugar and salt to a boil. Remove from heat, add flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until dough forms a smooth ball pulling off the pan.

Place the saucepan over low heat and cook dough, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating vigorously after each addition until dough is smooth.

Spread dough at the bottom of the prepared pan and up to the middle of the sides to obtain an even thin layer of dough. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Remove from oven. With the tip of a knife, pierce the centre of the cooked dough a few times to allow it to deflate (see note). Run the blade of a knife between the pan and the pastry as it cools. Set aside.
