List of Ingredients




8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 large eggs plus 1 lightly beaten egg
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of paprika



Recipe



Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400° F.

In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, sugar, and salt and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from the heat and add the flour, beating vigorously with a wooden spoon until smooth. Place the pot over high heat and cook, stirring continuously, until a smooth mass forms and the bottom of the pan is coated with a thin crust, about 2 minutes.

Transfer the batter to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add 6 of the eggs, on medium speed, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the Parmesan, nutmeg, and paprika.

Using a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip, pipe the batter onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets, forming mounds about 3/4-inch in diameter. Lightly brush with the beaten egg, smoothing the top surface with wet fingers. Bake at 400° F for 15 minutes, reduce the oven to 375° F, and continue baking until puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer the gougèrs to a wire rack, cool slightly, and serve warm.
