Yield Makes 24 small puffs

Number Of Ingredients 7

oil or butter, for the baking sheet
250ml whole milk
125g unsalted butter
1 tsp salt
300g tapioca flour
2 eggs
100g parmesan, grated

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Oil or butter a baking sheet and set aside.
  • Heat the milk, butter and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the tapioca flour. Stir vigorously, then leave to cool a little.
  • Pour the dough into a standing mix to beat the dough until its cool, or use a wooden spoon and beat by hand. Beat the eggs in one at a time, waiting until each is completely incorporated before adding the next. When the dough is glossy and mixed, add the parmesan. Beat again until mixed.
  • Spoon the dough onto the baking sheet in 1 tbsp balls, 5cm apart. Bake for 30 mins until crisp and golden. Remove from the oven and eat while still warm.
