Ingredients

16servings

180 ml (3/4 cup) water, at room temperature
1/2 tsp salt
60 g (4 tbsp) butter, diced
100 g (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
3 medium eggs
70 g (3/4 cup) grated Emmental
Glaze: 1 egg yolk + 1 tbsp water

Method

Heat the oven to 210 °C (410 °F), conventional setting. Put the water, salt and butter in the Tupperware MicroCook Pitcher 1 l, set the lid to the open position and microwave for about 4 minutes at 600 W.
Tip in all the flour at once and beat hard with the Tupperware Silicone Spatula until the dough is smooth and comes away from the sides. If it still looks wet, heat it again in 30-second bursts at 600 W.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, until the dough is smooth. Stir in 40 g (1/2 cup) of the Emmental.
Using a piping bag with a fluted nozzle, pipe even mounds onto the Tupperware Silicone Baking Sheet. Dip a fork in the glaze and press lightly on top of each one.
Scatter the rest of the Emmental over the puffs and bake on a low shelf for about 30 minutes, until puffed and golden.
