Gougères
Although Gruyère is the classic ingredient
for gougères, you may substitute your
favorite cheese.
Makes one hundred 1-inch gougères
½
cup water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt or table salt
½ teaspoon sugar
½ cup + 2 tablespoons unbleached,
all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, + 2 more if necessary
1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded and

½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne
¼ teaspoon paprika

baking stone on the bottom rack in position

Place the water, butter, salt and sugar in a
medium saucepan and set over medium heat.

from heat and stir in all of the flour. Return
to the burner and raise the heat to medium-

thick hard film on the bottom of the pot.
Remove from heat and put mixture into a

until fully incorporated before adding the

a pale yellow color, and will drop from the
beater in a slow and steady stream. If the
dough is too thick, beat the remaining two
