This is a delicious idea from Karin Perry, good for “eaty firsties” with drinks or as an hors d’oeuvre They are excellent piping hot.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup ( sticks) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups water
  • <

Method

Cut the butter into cubes and put it with the water into a heavy pan. Heat gently until the butter melts, then bring to a rapid boil. Quickly tip in the flour. Remove the pan from the heat and beat the mixture violently with a wooden spoon. As soon as the dough is smooth and starts to leave the sides of the pan, add the salt. Set the saucepan in a sink of cold water to cool for 10 minutes.
