Introduction

A friend made this for me last night and I just had to get the recipe. It is a recipe from the Burgundy area of France and is delicious served with soup or salads I suppose the easiest comparison is that it is the French version of a cheese scone but much more buttery and flaky.

200 millilitres water
100 grams sugar

125 grams flour
3 large eggs
100 grams Gruyere cheese (or mature cheddar cut into cubes)

In a pan mix the water, butter, salt & pepper. Slowly bring to the boil. Take this off the heat and add all of the flour. Mix this until it forms a ball.

Add the 3 eggs one at a time. Add two thirds of the cheese.

Butter a dish (I think my friend used a round tin of approx 23cm) add the mix and sprinkle with the last of the cheese.

Put the dish into an oven preheated at 240 degrees Centigrade for 35 minutes and do not open the oven before this time as it will sink. Serve and enjoy!
