I watched Bobby Flay make these on one of his shows. I have also made a chocolate version using 2T unsweetened cocoa powder.

Time 30m

Yield 48 bite sized puffs, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup water
6 tablespoons butter, I used unsalted
1 tablespoon sugar, for sweet
1/8 teaspoon salt, for sweet
1 teaspoon salt, for savory
5 3/4 ounces flour
4 large eggs
2 egg whites

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Boil water, butter and salt or sugar.
  • Remove from heat and add flour; stir quickly and return to heat.
  • Keep stirring until all flour is mixed in and dough forms a ball.
  • Move dough into the bowl of a stand mixer; let cool for 5-7 minutes.
  • With mixer on low, add eggs one at a time; make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding another.
  • After all eggs are mixed in and dough is smooth, put the dough into a piping bag fitted with a round tip.
  • Pipe golfball size shapes, 2 inches apart on parchment lined sheet pan.
  • Wet a finger and smooth any points or they may burn.
  • Cook at 425 for 10 minutes, then drop temperature down to 350 and bake 10 more minutes or until golden brown.
  • Once they are removed from the oven, pierce them with a paring knife, or slice open to release steam.
