Equipment
- piping bag
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 6 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 cup Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 1/2 cups Finely Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4 tsp Smoked Paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, salt, and garlic powder. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally so the butter melts evenly.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the gluten free flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth ball of dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan. Return the pan to medium-low heat and stir for 1 minute to cook the dough slightly and dry it out.
- Transfer the dough to a large bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes, stirring it a few times to release steam. Add the eggs one at a time, beating vigorously after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy before adding the next.
- The final dough should be thick but pipeable, falling off the spoon in a thick ribbon.
- Fold in the shredded cheddar, grated parmesan, and smoked paprika until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can also use a piping bag fitted with a large round tip to pipe neat mounds. Wet your fingertip and gently smooth any peaks on top.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the puffs are deeply golden brown and feel light when you pick one up. Do not open the oven during the first 20 minutes or they may collapse.
- Serve warm while the cheese is still melty and the outside is perfectly crispy.
