Gougeres – French cheese balls (starter!)

Have you ever made cheese puffs? To make them you first make a pâte a choux dough (pronounced "pat ah shoo") which can seem a little strange if you've never made it before.

Strange because most people who bake are used to mixing the ingredients for the dough and then putting them in the oven.

For pâte-a-choux dough first half-cook the dough by adding flour to boiling water and butter and stirring like crazy until you have a ball of dough with the consistency of play dough.
