The fifth recipe I made with the Tuesdays with Dorie: Baking with Dorie group is Cheese Puffers and can be found in the Baking with Dorie book on page 342-343. The recipe can also be found online, click here.
Ingredients: butter, flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, eggs, milk, cheddar cheese, and scallions.
The recipe comes together easily with you-probably-already-have-these-ingredients-at-home so you can put the puffers together any old time you feel like it…they are quick, and if you use really good cheddar, the taste meets all that cheesy goodness you were hoping for when you saw this photo. Mark had no trouble with the quantity netted, he promptly ate five, I had two, and then he warmed up leftovers the next day to eat with his beef stew. He thought they were just as good the next day. Some things are worth the splurge, these would be those.
If you would like to join in, just make it, bake it, and leave a link to your post at the Tuesdays with Dorie website: click here. At the website you will find the postings for the current recipe, the list of recipes chosen each month, and some baking chit chat that is definitely helpful as well as fun. Currently there are two groups baking at this website: this one, Baking with Dorie (BWD), and one that is in its final year, Dorie’s Cookies (DC), which uses recipes from that book. We don’t publish Dorie's recipes here, but you can buy the book and have them all at your fingertips, what a deal!
