Cheese Puffs

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease 2 baking pans.
2. 2
   Heat the butter, sugar and salt with 1 cup water in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
3. 3
   Add the flour and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon. Return to the heat and continue stirring for 5 mins, until the mixture comes away from the side of the pan.
4. 4
   Transfer to a bowl and cool slightly. Using an electric beater, add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat on low speed for 3 mins, until the mixture is smooth and holds its shape. Stir in cheese.

   Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip. Pipe 36 rounds onto the prepared trays, leaving space for spreading. Brush with beaten egg.
