Cheesy Beer Gougeres

This is a twist to the traditional recipe from Burgundy. Here we have our Cheesy Beer Gougeres, perfect to enjoy with a cold glass of your favourite beer.

Ingredients

50 g cubed butter
125ml of your favourite beer
75 g Plain flour
2 eggs beaten
1 tsp salt
40g grated cheddar cheese
40g cubed cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven at 180 degrees.

Put the butter and beer in a saucepan. Bring them just to the boil. Remove the pan from the heat.

Step 2

Add the flour and the salt and beat. When the dough is smooth, return the pan to the heat until it is dry, forms a ball and pulls away from the side of the pan.

Step 3

Then place the dough in a glass bowl. Add the beaten eggs, one at the time, and beat well after each addition. It is important that the eggs do not get cooked.

Step 4

Continue beating until paste is thick and shiny. Then fold in the grated cheese and once this is done, fold in the cubed cheese.

Step 5

Place small mounds of the dough on a baking sheet, leaving enough space in between each ball to allow them to expand.

Step 6

Bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden. Then, turn out onto a rack and allow to cool.

Step 7

Serve with a glass of your favourite icy cold beer
