Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup mango puree fresh or canned

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water, unsalted butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the flour all at once. Mix until the dough forms a smooth ball.
