1 cup hot water
Preheat oven to 425°F.
In saucepan, melt margarine in water and bring to a boil. Add flour and salt all at one time and cook over medium heat until flour leaves sides of pan and forms a stiff ball. Remove from heat and blend in eggs one at a time, eating vigorously. (I do that part in my Kitchen Aid.)
Put mixture in pastry bag with a 1/2" to 1" wide opening and pipe mixture into cylinders (you decide the size), then bake 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown.
Turn off oven, prick eclairs with a fork so steam can escape and leave in oven for another 20 minutes. Centers will dry out. Split and fill with cream, your choice of course.
