Fluffy Cheese Puffs

Did you know that Disney has a weekly e-newsletter that includes fun crafts, activities, and recipes?  The crafts are fun, but I hadn't tried a recipe.  These looked yummy.  Here's the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup water
1 TBS butter
1 TBS olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup flour
4 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 TBS minced chives or scallions

 DIRECTIONS:

Heat the oven to 400.  Lightly coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, oil, salt and cayenne pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Remove from heat and add the flour all at once.  Stir mixture with a wooden spoon until a paste forms.

With a wooden spoon, beat in the eggs one at a time, blending completely each time.  Stir in the cheese and chives/scallions.

Using a tablespoon, drop balls of batter onto the cookie sheet.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are firm and well browned.

Makes 30-40 puffs.

VERDICT:

It's refreshing to know that Disney doesn't do everything well.

30-40 puffs my ass.  Try 15 flat as a pancake cheese & egg clumps.  The taste wasn't bad, but these would make a good breakfast dish as they were very eggy.  If you want really good cheesy biscuits, try... well, I was going to post a link to my cheddar bay biscuits, but apparently I haven't published them yet!  Stay tuned, I'll have them up this week!
