Searching for new recipes is one of my all time favourite things to pass the time, actually finding something and making it is a rare occurrence.
Its easy to find reasons not to make something: not enough time; don’t want to have to go out to buy the ingredients; sounds laborious etc. Generally it boils down to laziness…not this time though!
Dorie Greenspan’s recipe for Gougéres sounded delicious, worth the effort and I already had the ingredients in my kitchen! The use of 5 eggs makes it an ideal feature for this blog. I also like that Dorie is an expat who has been asked for her recipe of a French dish! You can find the recipe by clicking this link:

In the new house, we haven’t quite stocked up on kitchen things so I tried out two batches of Gougéres. The first batch were baked on a roasting tray and had a choux pastry texture – 7/10.
The second lot of Gougéres were baked in a muffin tin and although they rose nicely, it didn’t last too long out of the heat. They had more of a spongey texture – 6/10.
Highly recommended recipe!
