1.Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan forced). Grease oven trays.
2.To make choux pastry, combine the water, butter and sugar in a medium saucepan, bring to the boil. Add flour, beat with a wooden spoon over medium heat until mixture comes away from base of pan. Transfer pastry to a medium bowl, stand 1 minute. Beat in two of the eggs, one at a time, until pastry becomes smooth and glossy but still holds its shape.
3.Spoon pastry into piping bag fitted with a 1.5cm (¾-inch) plain tube. Pipe six 10cm x 7cm (4-inch x 2¾-inch) heart shapes, about 5cm (2 inches) apart, on trays, brush with lightly beaten remaining egg.
