In another saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter than add the milk, stir and bring to a boil. As soon as the milk comes to a boil, remove the pan from the heat and add the flour mixture all at once. With a wooden spoon, beat the dough until it thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating each until egg is completely incorporated. Let cool for 10 minutes.
