RECIPE – BAKE (cont.)
ITSY BITSY CHEESIE PUFFS
Makes 45
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
1 tsp dry mustard
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup Water
½ cup chopped butter
4 eggs
1 tbsp finely chopped chives
3 oz. Gruyére or Swiss cheese, finely
diced
-
Preheat the oven to 400
°
F. Lightly grease a baking sheet. (Make sure the baking
sheet is the right size to fit into the oven.) Sift together the flour, salt, dry mustard
and cayenne pepper.
-
In a saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Remove from heat and add flour
mixture all at once, beating until the dough forms a ball. Return to the heat and
beat constantly for 1-2 minutes to dry out. Remove from heat and let cool for 5
minutes.
-
Beat three of the eggs into the dough. Beat the fourth egg in a bowl and add a
teaspoon at a time to the dough until it is smooth and shiny and drops slowly from
the spoon.
-
The fourth egg does not need to be used entirely. It can be reserved for later use as
a glaze.
-
Using two small spoons, drop small mounds of dough 2 inches apart onto the
baking sheet. Beat the reserved egg with 1 teaspoon water and brush the tops of
the dough balls.
-
Bake for 8 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350
°
F and bake for 7
minutes more, until puffy and golden. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly.
Serve warm.
(You may need to repeat the baking process for the remaining dough.)
