Steps to Make Perfect Gougères
1. Begin by gently heating the water, milk, sugar, salt, and butter in a saucepan over low heat.
2. Once the butter is melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and swiftly stir in the flour until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. Return the saucepan to the heat. Keep stirring until the dough forms a crust on the bottom of the pan.
4. Transfer the dough to a mixer. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until the dough becomes elastic.
5. Mix in the grated cheese until evenly distributed through the dough.
Final Touches
To finish, prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a piping bag or a spoon, form the gougères on the sheet. Sprinkle some more cheese on top of each gougère for extra flavor. Bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC (356ºF) for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Enjoy these cheesy, light puffs as a delightful starter or a tasty snack during your next gathering!
