You Will Need:

Cheese Puffs
  • 100 g (100 ml) butter
  • 150 ml boiling water
  • 70 g (150 ml) cake flour
  • ½ t (2,5 ml) Ina Paarman’s Seasoned Sea Salt Seasoning
  • 60 g (150 ml) grated mature cheddar cheese
  • 2 extra large eggs
Filling

Method:

Cheese Puffs

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 220 °C. Melt the butter in the water and bring to the boil. Stir in the flour, salt and cheese, with a wooden spoon. Stir vigorously until the mixture comes away from the side of the saucepan.
Remove from the stove. Allow to cool for 1 minute, spoon into a food processor with steel blade fitted. Start blending. Add the eggs one at a time and continue processing until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Spoon or pipe teaspoonfuls full of the batter onto baking paper, about 3 cm apart, and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 180 °C and bake for a further 15 - 20 minutes. Cut a small slit in the side of each puff to allow the steam to escape. Leave to cool before storing in an airtight container.

 Filling

Mix all the ingredients together in a food processor until smooth and fine enough to pipe.

Place mixture in a piping bag fitted with an open star nozzle.

 Assembly

Halve the puffs, pipe filling on the bottom halves and top with top halves.

Arrange on a platter.
