**Coca De Vidre Glassy Sugar Pastry**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup water
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 4 large eggs
– Pinch of salt
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. In a medium saucepan, bring the water, butter, and salt to a boil over medium heat. Stir until the butter is completely melted.
2. Reduce the heat to low and add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough may look like it’s separating at first, but keep stirring until it comes together into a smooth, shiny batter.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Using a spoon or a piping bag, drop small portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them as they will puff up as they bake.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are puffed up and golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and transfer the pastries to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
