GOUGERES
- 250 g ( 0,55 lbs ) + 1 teaspoon of butter
- 1 glass of water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 250 gr ( 0,55 lbs ) (1+1/2 cup) flour
- 4 eggs
- 250 g ( 0,55 lbs ) Gruyere cheese (finely grated).
First, heat your oven to a high temperature (220°C- 428 F). Grease a baking sheet the size of your baking tray with 1 teaspoon of butter and set it aside. Put the remaining 125 g ( 0,26 lbs) of oil, water and salt in a large saucepan. Put the pot on medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil is completely mixed with the water and the mixture boils.
Take the pan off the heat and add the flour and mix. Put the pot on the fire again and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes doughy and separates easily from the sides of the pot.
Take the saucepan off the heat and add the eggs one by one.
Immediately after, set aside 2 tablespoons of the grated cheese, add the rest to the pot and mix. Take heaping tablespoons of the mixture and pour it into a ring on the greased paper. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of grated cheese on top of the ring and pop the cake into the oven.
After 40-45 minutes, cook until the gujer rises and turns golden brown, then serve hot or chilled.
Note: You can serve gujer, a classic French muffin, as a hot or cold hors d'oeuvre.
