1. Preheat oven to 4000 degrees F.
2. In a medium saucepan combine water, butter, and salt and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add flour all at once. Stir quickly with a spoon until dough forms a ball.
3. Add one egg at a time combining completely after each edition. The mixture will be very smooth and velvety.
4. Either drop the dough by scant teaspoons or spoon dough into a pastry bag and pipe it directly onto an ungreased baking sheet. Teaspoons seem small but the pastry will puff up and still be bite-sized.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6, While the pastry is baking prepare the lemon pudding.
7. When the lemon pudding has chilled and the puffs have cool fill a bag with the lemon pudding
8. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or dip the top in lemon pudding and refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes about 40 bite sized cream puffs.
