  Gougeres (Cheese Puffs)

Ingredients:
1 cup Water
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1 cup Sifted flour
4 Eggs
4 oz Grated Gruyere cheese
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions:
The easiest and most consistent way to form the gougeres is to pipe
out small rounds using a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip.
Lacking this, you could also use 2 teaspoons.

PREHEAT OVEN TO 425F. Place the water, butter, salt and pepper in a
small saucepan and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat
(do not allow it to boil for any length of time) and add the flour
all at once. Stir with a wooden spoon until a ball forms. Return to
medium heat to dry the paste. Flatten the paste on the bottom of the
pan, bring it up to the side of the pan nearest you, then flop it
over to the opposite side of the pan. Continue until butter starts
oozing out in bubbles, about 5 minutes. When pinched, the paste
should not stick to your fingers. Remove from the heat and wait 5
minutes until slightly cooled, then beat in the eggs one at a time,
waiting until each is incorporated before adding the next. Add the
cheese and mustard. Butter a baking sheet, then rinse under cold
water, or place parchment paper on the baking sheet. Pipe out small
dots, about 1/2-inch in diameter, leaving enough room for them to
triple in size. Brush with beaten egg or milk, sprinkle with more
cheese, and bake for 15 minutes. Lower the heat to 400F, open the
oven door briefly to let the steam escape and then bake for an
additional 10 minutes. Cool on a rack. Gougeres freeze well.
