How to Make Terribly Impressive Chorizo Puffs

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup (115g) of unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and add 1 1/2 cups (150g) of all-purpose flour all at once. Pulse until a dough forms.
  4. Let the dough cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  5. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, pulsing after each addition until fully incorporated. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.
  6. In a separate bowl, crumble 1 cup (150g) of chorizo sausage. You can use any kind of spicy sausage you prefer.
  7. Spoon rounded tablespoons of the choux pastry onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each puff.
  8. Top each puff with a spoonful of the crumbled chorizo.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up.
  10. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy!
