Ingredients
1 cup Water
1 cup Butter
1 tsp Salt
2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Maida)
3 large Egg
1 cups Cheddar Cheese
2 tbsp Powdered Cheese
Instructions
1
In a saucepan over high heat, combine the water, butter, and salt.
2
Bring to a boil until the butter is fully melted.
3
Reduce the heat to medium and add the flour.
4
Stir continuously until the mixture forms a smooth batter and no dry powder remains.
5
Remove the pot from the heat and allow the batter to cool down to room temperature.
6
This prevents the eggs from scrambling when added.
7
Crack one egg into the mixture and stir until fully combined and creamy.
8
Repeat this process for each of the three eggs, ensuring each is incorporated before adding the next.
9
Fold the shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the batter until well combined.
10
Take a heaping amount of the mixture and coat it in a bowl of flour to create a "snowball."
11
Place it onto parchment paper and roll it into a thin cylinder.
12
Cut the cylinder into small, bite-sized tabs and arrange them on a baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
13
Place the tray in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10 minutes.
14
Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes.
15
Remove the puffs from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes.
16
Place them in a resealable bag with the powdered cheese, puff some air into the bag to create a balloon shape, and shake well to coat the puffs evenly.
