Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.
3
Add the flour to the saucepan and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
4
Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer or a large bowl. Beat in the eggs one at a time, until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
5
Stir in the Gruyère cheese and paprika until well combined.
6
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe the gougères onto the prepared baking sheet in small, round shapes.
7
Bake the gougères for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
