Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat and bring to a gentle boil.
  3. Quickly add 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour once the milk mixture is boiling, stirring vigorously until it forms a cohesive ball.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Mix in 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until well-blended.
