Chocolate Eclairs

Shells
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup flour
4 eggs

Bring water to a boil and add butter. Boil until butter is melted. Add flour and stir well. Stir until mixture is smooth. Cool 5 to 10 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time; mix well after adding each egg. With a spoon or pastry tube, drop on a very lightly greased cookie sheet. Use about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons dough for each shell. Bake at 375 degrees F for 35 minutes and then 200 degrees F for 10 minutes. When cool, slice open and fill with custard.
