Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a saucepan over low heat heat the butter, water and salt until butter melts and then bring to a boil. Remove heat and add all the flour all at once (Adding the flour all at once is an important part of making this pastry).

Step 3

Return pan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes away from the side of the pan and forms a ball -- will take a few minutes.

Step 4

Transfer dough to a bowl and beat in the eggs, one at a time, with a mixer that is fitted with dough hooks; continue beating until dough is smooth and glossy. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Step 5

Using two teaspoons place 25 walnut size mounds of the mixture on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 20 minutes or until puffed and light golden brown.

Step 6

Remove from oven and let cool. Cut the puffs open with scissors and fill with the remaining cheese using a spoon.

Step 7

Just before serving, heat them in a hot oven for a few minutes. (****These freeze well -- reheat frozen puffs in a 425 degree oven for 7-10 minutes).

Don't know why but I had a hard time with this recipe. When it was done, the flavor was there and very good. It was the prep that I had trouble with for some reason. Thought I followed the directions but when finished they just did not puff up as much as I expected. It must have been with my technique but thought I was following directions. No matter the flavor was there and enjoyed the gouda cheese and nutmeg in the pastry.
