• In a medium saucepan heat butter and water over medium heat until butter melts. Fold in flour all at once, and stir vigorously until a ball forms in the center of the pan. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until fully blended. Mix should be very stiff. Drop by 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon onto prepared cookie sheet.

TUNA PUFF SANDWICHES

CHEESE PUFFS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a saucepan, heat the milk, butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg over medium heat, until scalded. Add the flour all at once and beat it vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat for 2 minutes. The flour will begin to coat the bottom of the pan. Dump the hot mixture into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Immediately add the eggs, Gruyere, and Parmesan and pulse until the eggs are incorporated and the dough is smooth and thick.
• Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round tip. Pipe in mounds 1 1/4 inches wide and 3/4-inch high onto the baking sheets. With a wet finger, lightly press down the swirl at the top of each puff. (You can also use 2 spoons to scoop out the mixture and shape the puffs with damp fingers.) Brush the top of each puff lightly with egg wash and sprinkle with a pinch of Gruyere. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown outside but still soft inside.

TUNA PUFF PIES

Steps:

• Drain the tuna and flake with a fork into chunky pieces.
• Cut the whole pastry sheet into 9 squares of 8cm x 8cm, and the 1/3 of a sheet into 3 squares. Arrange each pastry square into a greased muffin pan.
• Divide the tuna evenly between the 12 pastry cases, sprinkle evenly with spring onions, garlic, capers and dill; and add salt and fresh ground black pepper or cayenne pepper, to taste. Top each Tuna Puff Pie with a dollop of sour cream (YOU decide on the size of the dollop!) and sprinkle with parsley and lemon zest.
• Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 18 minutes.

TUNA & SWEETCORN SLICE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Lay the pastry out on a baking sheet. Pinch up the edges to form a border, pressing firmly into the corners. Prick the centre all over with a fork and pop in the oven for 10-15 mins.
• Meanwhile, mix the tuna and sweetcorn in a bowl and season.
• Remove the pastry from the oven, pressing the centre down with the back of a fork, as it will have puffed up a bit. Spread the crème fraîche across centre, spoon the tuna mix on top, then sprinkle over the cheese. Bake for 10-15 mins more, until golden, puffed up and cooked though. Sprinkle with chives and cut into quarters.
