Preheat oven to 450ºF.
Bring the water, butter, sugar and salt to a boil. Add the flour all at once and cook, stirring constantly until the dough begins to stick to the sides and all of the starch taste is cooked out.
Remove from heat and place in the bowl of a Kitchen Aid mixer. Mix until steam dissipates. Add eggs one at a time, letting each egg blend in completely before adding the next.
Add eggs until you reach a pipeable consistency. Pipe desired shapes and sizes onto cooking sheets and bake at 450ºF until golden brown, about 10-15 minutes.
Reduce the temperature
to 350ºF and bake for 10 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and let
cool when done.
In a mixing bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients.
To assemble, split the puffs, horizontally. Fill the puffs with the crab filling and serve.
