Cheddar Cheese Puffs

Description

It’s interesting because many of us who bake typically mix all the ingredients for dough together and then simply place it in the oven. However, with pâte à choux, the process involves partially cooking the dough first. You start by adding flour to boiling water and butter, stirring vigorously until you form a dough that has a play-dough-like consistency. After that, you incorporate eggs into the mixture before putting the dough in the oven, where it puffs up as the moisture turns to steam, creating air pockets.
