Davidstow 12 Month Mature cheddar choux buns

post-cheese-choux-bun1Savoury choux buns make wonderful Christmas canapés; your guests won’t be disappointed with these marvellous morsels, filled with indulgent Davidstow 12 Month Mature Cheddar.

What You’ll Need:

  • 125g water
  • 2.5g salt
  • 4g sugar
  • 100g diced cold butter
  • 62g flour
  • 2 medium eggs
  • 40g Davidstow® 12 Month Mature Cheddar, finely grated

What To Do:

  • Pre-heat your oven to 160˚c.
  • Gently heat the milk, butter, salt and sugar in a saucepan until the butter has melted, then bring to the boil.
  • Once boiled, remove from the heat and gradually add flour. Beat well with a wooden spoon until the mixture starts to come away from the sides of the pan and is well combined.
  • Once the mixture has cooled down slightly, gradually beat in the eggs until it’s well incorporated and smooth.
  • Place this mixture into a piping bag and pipe small dots (approx the size of 10p coin) onto a greased baking tray.
  • Finally sprinkle the finely grated 12 month old on top of the blobs and place into the oven for 19-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Please note: These are best served warm.
