How to Make Doreen's Savoury Puffs

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring the water, butter, and salt to a rolling boil over medium heat.
  3. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the flour until a smooth dough forms. Stir vigorously until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball.
  4. Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to dry out the dough slightly.
  5. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
  6. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy. It should be thick enough to hold its shape, but still drop easily from a spoon.
  7. Using a small spoon or a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, carefully spoon or pipe small mounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each puff.
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Do not open the oven door during baking.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before adding your desired toppings.
  10. Serve and enjoy! Add your favorite savory toppings such as cheese, herbs, or finely diced vegetables.
