Time 25m

Yield 24 puffs, 12-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup water
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 cup fresh basil, minced (I used about 1 1/2 T dried)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese (I used the stuff in the can)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring water, butter, and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until it forms a smooth ball. Remove from heat and let stand for about 5 minutes.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny (takes some arm power). Stir in basil and cheese.
  • Drop by rounded tablespoons 1 inch apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 400' for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. (I made mine too big and it took about 24 minutes total) Remove to wire racks. Serve warm.
