DOWNUNDER CHEESE PUFFS

Steps:

• Beat the egg in the milk; mix together with the flour, baking powder, salt and grated cheese.
• Put large teaspoonfuls on a cold greased tray.
• Bake for 10 minutes in a hot oven 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

BASIC CHEESE PUFFS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the butter, salt and water in a pan. Bring to a boil.
• Sift the flour onto a sheet of waxed paper, then, off the heat, add it all to the butter and water mixture and stir it in very quickly to form a thick paste that leaves the sides of the pan clean.
• Return the pan to the heat and beat the mixture with a wooden spoon for 1 minute to dry it. Remove the pan from heat and cool for 5 minutes.
• Beat in the eggs and yolk, one at a time, then add the mustard, cayenne pepper and grated cheese. (I didn't have dry mustard so I used 1 teaspoon grainy, brown mustard. I also used a dash more cayenne for an extra bite.).
• Place teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto a nonstick baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees and cook for 15 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack and serve cold.
