Cuisine: French Course: Appetiser

Skill Level: Novice

Prep: 20 mins Cook: 20 mins

Ready in: 40mins  Serves: 30pcs

INGREDIENTS

  • 60g Unsalted Butter (Room Temperature)
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 eggs (room temperature)
  • 6 ounces Gruyere cheese (grated)
  • 2-3 pcs Bak Kwa (BBQ Pork Jerky)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
  2. Place the butter, milk, water, salt, and pepper in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add all of the flour at once, reduce heat to medium-low and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and appears to dry out (a film or “crust” will develop on the sides and bottom of the pan), another 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Immediately place the dough into a mixing bowl and beat on low until it stops steaming and is just warm to the touch, approximately 1 minute.
  4. Increase mixer speed to medium and add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each until fully incorporated and scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the cheese and bak kwa and mix until thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. The final dough will appear smooth, creamy, and shiny.
  5. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large round piping, and pipe 1-2 tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets. Alternately, use a medium cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between them. You can wet your hands and gently smooth out the scoops, if you’d like.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 200°C, and continue to bake until puffed and golden brown, an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature.
