1. Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a saucepan, heat the water and salt over medium heat until it boils.
3. Add the diced butter to the saucepan and mix until completely melted.
4. Add the flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
5. Remove the dough from the heat and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
6. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the batter is smooth and smooth.
7. Place the dough in a pastry bag with a round nozzle.
8. Form small walnut-sized balls on the baking sheet, leaving enough space between them as they will expand during baking.
9. Bake the profiteroles in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden and firm.
10. Remove the profiteroles from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
Once the profiteroles are completely cooled, you can cut them in half and fill them with custard, whipped cream or ice cream. You can also sprinkle them with icing sugar to decorate.
