3. When the water is starting to boil (butter should be melted at this point), add the flour in one go,and vigorously mix the flour in, so that it absorbs all of the water
4. Cook the dough for 1 – 3 minutes (over medium heat) while you mix and move it around in the pan until you get a dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Add the vanilla extract (if using), and then with a hand-held mixer (or whisk), mix the dough while adding the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
