Ingredients

Directions

  • Bring 1 cup water, the butter, salt, and cayenne to a boil in a heavy 4-quart saucepan; boil until butter has melted. Remove from heat; stir in flour. Return to burner; cook, stirring, until mixture comes together and pulls away from the pan, about 2 minutes more.

  • Remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, beat in 4 eggs, 1 at a time, until they are incorporated and smooth. Stir in zest, scallions, and parsley.

  • Transfer mixture to a piping bag, and cut a 1/2-inch opening. Pipe 1-inch rounds onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Alternatively, drop rounded teaspoons of batter onto baking sheets lined with parchment.

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together remaining egg and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl; lightly brush on top of each puff. Bake until lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Cook's Notes

If not using immediately, freeze unbaked gougeres up to 1 month in airtight containers or resealable plastic bags.

Seriously, did nobody read the recipe part? The list calls for 5 eggs, the instructions say to add 4 eggs one at a time. Is it 4 eggs, or 5?

I changed things around quite a bit. The beginning is the same but for real flavor I: kept the lemon but put in 2 teaspoons of basil paste and 1 clove of minced garlic. They're bursting with flavor. I also used freshly cracked mix peppercorn and it gives it a tad of a bit without being over bering since it was for a baby shower. Didn't want the cayenne to give her heartburn. I will certainly be using this again and again! A little puff of heaven, I tell you!

I'd never made gougeres before, but this recipe was easy to follow and the results were quite tasty. I served with champagne at a cocktail party as suggested by a reviewer and got rave reviews. Will definitely add to my recipe box for future use.

I made these for Easter brunch and they came out great. I didn't have parsley, so I used chives instead. I got a little impatient and took the tray out early, a few collapsed before I could get them back in. They were still tasty.

12-26-10 The 5 1/2 minute vide only plays for 1 1/2 minute then cuts back into the advertisement. I hope this is a short-term problem that someone on your end can fix.

The butter to flour ratio is slight off resulting in flat gougeres. The flavor is fabulous and are perfect for a cocktail party.
