Ingredients

• 240 ml water
• 115 g unsalted butter
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 130 g all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 120 g Manchego cheese, shredded
• 100 g chorizo, finely diced
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, unsalted butter, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter has melted and the mixture starts to boil.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the all-purpose flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dough cool for 5-7 minutes. This will prevent the eggs from cooking when added.

Step 5

Add the eggs to the dough one at a time, mixing well after each addition. The dough should be smooth, glossy, and slightly sticky.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded Manchego cheese, finely diced chorizo, black pepper, and paprika until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a round or star tip (or use two spoons) and pipe small mounds (about 1-2 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and transfer the puffs to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Manchego Chorizo Puffs!
