These gorgeous French bite-size savoury pastries just melt in the mouth. I served these gougères to friends with pre-dinner drinks and they were so impressed that I really didn't want to confess how effortless they had been to make
Ingredients
-
3 oz / 75g plain flour
-
¼ pint / 150ml water

Directions
Sieve together the flour, salt and pepper.
Melt the butter with the water in a saucepan.
Bring to the boil, tip in the flour and beat with a wooden spoon until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan cleanly. Allow it to cool slightly.
Beat in the eggs until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Spoon dessert-spoon sized drops onto a greased baking tray.
