 When acclaimed chef Ludo Lefebvre — the man behind LudoBites, Los Angeles’s much-lauded touring restaurant — gave us the recipe and a stellar photo play-by-play for his gougeres, a.k.a. French-style cheese puffs, we did our best Super Bowl-worthy touchdown dance (think funky chicken into lawn mower with a bit of running man thrown in for good measure).Chef Ludo Lefebvre’s French-Style Cheese Puffs Ingredients for 3 dozen: 1 c. plus 1 tbsp. water 7 tbsp. butter 1¼ c. flour 4 large eggs 1¾ c. grated Gruyere Pinch of salt 1. Preheat oven to 375°. 2. Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper. 3. Pour water into a large saucepan; add butter and salt. Turn up the heat. Once the butter has melted, turn down the heat and add the flour all at once, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat when the flour is amalgamated and the paste is smooth (about 5 minutes). 4. Continue to stir 3-5 minutes or until the paste is just warm (this process dries the dough). Do not overheat. 5. Put the dough ball in your KitchenAid mixer (if you’re lucky) or just roll up your sleeves to mix by hand. Add eggs one at the time, mixing on low until well incorporated before adding the next. After the last egg has been mixed in, add the cheese, and mix for about 30 seconds (the cheese will melt slightly). 6. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag and squeeze out small, round mounds onto the baking tray. (No pastry bag? A spoon will do.) 7. Bake 20-25 minutes (depending on their size) until they rise and are golden brown. 8. To impress your friends, serve them warm right out of the oven. For more information, go to ludolefebvre.com.
