Ingredients
Method
Gougeres:
1) Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2) In a large saucepan, combine the milk, butter, salt, black pepper and essence over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat. Add the flour and stir constantly with a large wooden spoon to incorporate, about 1 minute. Return to medium-high heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
3) Remove from the heat and add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the cheese and beat until mixed well and a slightly soft dough forms.
4) Drop the dough by the spoonful onto the baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180C/Gas 4 and bake until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately, or at room temperature.
Essence:
Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
