Chicken Almond Puffs

A nice variation on gougeres (those cheese cream puff things).  A 1 ounce scoop is perfect for making these.  They can be frozen and reheated.

  • 1 c flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 c butter
  • 1 c chicken stock
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 c finely diced cooked chicken
  • 2  Tab chopped toasted almonds
  • 1/8 tsp paprika

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 450°.
  2. Combine butter and chicken stock in pan over low heat until the butter is melted.
  3. Add flour and salt all at once.
  4. Stir vigorously until it forms a ball and leaves the side of the pan.
  5. Remove from heat.
  6. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat thoroughly after each.  Stir in chicken, almonds and paprika.
  7. Drop by small teaspoonfuls onto greased baking sheet.
  8. Bake 10 minutes at 450° then 5 – 10 minutes at 350° or until brown.

Serves:  4 – 5 dozen
