Como fazer Basic Cheese Puffs

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup water.
Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
In a separate bowl, sift 1 cup all-purpose flour. Off the heat, quickly whisk the flour into the boiling butter mixture until a smooth, thick paste forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Return the pan to medium heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon for 1 minute, until the mixture is dry and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 large egg yolk, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, a pinch of cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1 cup grated cheddar cheese.
Using a spoon or piping bag, drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto a nonstick baking sheet, leaving space between each puff.
Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Serve plain or fill with your favorite savory mixture (see description for suggestions).
