Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  2. Step 2

    Bring water to boil in deep saucepan and drop in butter. When butter has melted, remove pot from heat and add flour immediately. Stir with wooden spoon until soft ball forms.

  3. Step 3

    Put pot back over medium heat to dry out paste. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Thin crust will form on bottom of pot; do not scrape it up. After 4 or 5 minutes dough should not stick to fingers when pinched. Remove from heat.

  4. Step 4

    Add eggs, one by one, incorporating each thoroughly. Sprinkle in all but 2 tablespoons of cheese.

  5. Step 5

    Butter a cake mold with center tube or a regular cake pan. Using large soup spoon, remove pieces of dough and, using another spoon, drop around rim of dish. Small space should remain in between each for expansion. Sprinkle remaining cheese over dough. Bake 30 minutes.
