Cheese Puffs Gougères

3.1

Based on the classic pâté à choux or cream puff pastry from my culinary school days, this elegant and easy appetizer can be made ahead. It can be prepared dairy-free, too, but egg substitutes won't work as the eggs are necessary to help create the structure of these bite-size treats.

Tip

Don't use a commercial all-purpose gluten-free baking mix that already contains xanthan or guar gum as this will produce a gummy texture.
