How to Make Baked Herb Puffs

  1. In a large saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter over medium heat. Add 2 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of dry mustard, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a rolling boil.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Add 4 cups of all-purpose flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth ball forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
  3. Remove from heat and let the dough stand for 5 minutes.
  4. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon or electric mixer after each addition until the batter is smooth and glossy.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 cup chopped green onions.
  6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons (approximately 2 tablespoons each) of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each puff.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up.
  9. Carefully remove the baking sheets from the oven. Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit into the top of each puff to allow steam to escape.
  10. Return the baking sheets to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  11. Remove the puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
