In a saucepan, combine milk, butter, salt and sugar and place it over low heat.
Mix the ingredients well. When the mixture comes to a boil, remove from the heat.
Add flour and stir quickly using a spatula. Blend until no lumps remain. (Photo #1)
Place the saucepan over low heat again. Stir until the dough doesn’t stick to the bottom of the saucepan. (Photo #2)
When the dough becomes stiff enough to form one lump, remove from the heat. While the dough is still hot, add beaten whole eggs, a little at a time, and stir well after each addition, to form a smooth, glossy dough. (Photo #3)
Put the dough in a pastry bag fitted with a 1cm pastry tube. Pipe the dough into 10cm strips. If a pastry bag is not available, cut out one corner of a thick plastic bag and use it as a substitute. (Photo #4)
Using a wet fork, mark lines on top of each dough.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (392 °F) for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 170 °C (338 °F) and continue baking for about 10 more minutes.
After cooling, cut in one side of each puff horizontally.

Place the mixture over low heat. Stir until smooth and creamy, then remove from the heat. (Photo #2)
Let cool until the mixture becomes stiff, then stir again.
Using a pasty bag or a spoon, fill the puffs with the custard. (Photo #3)
