CHICKEN COCKTAIL PUFFS Makes 36 puffs
The cocktail puff is great when stuffed with chicken. I
sometimes keep these puffs, unfilled, in the freezer to
have available when I need something on short notice. You
don't need to thaw them before stuffing.
Cocktail Puffs
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup flour
1 egg, unbeaten
1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese
Preheat oven to 350oF. In a saucepan over medium heat,
heat butter in water until melted. Add salt and flour all
at once and stir vigorously until ball forms in center of
pan. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Add egg
and beat until smooth, add cheese. Mixture should be very
stiff. Drop by teaspoonful on baking sheet and bake for
about 40 minutes or until surface is free from beads of
moisture. Turn off oven and prop door open slightly by
putting a pot holder in the crack. Allow puffs to cool in
oven. Slice crosswise for stuffing.
Filling
