Gluten Free Cream Puffs
- 1 cup Gluten Free Flour Mix
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1 cup Water
- 1 stick Butter
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 4 whole Eggs
- Sift together flour and xanthan gum, then set aside.
- Place water, butter, sugar and salt in a large saucepan.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Leave heat on and add flour ALL AT ONCE, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon.
- Keep stirring until mixture forms a ball in the pan. Then, remove from heat.
- Using an electric hand mixer, beat in eggs, one at a time. It helps to have them already broken in individual bowls. Mix well after each addition.
- Dough should form a smooth paste once all the eggs are incorporated.
- Spoon dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet into nine mounds (I use a spring release scoop). If necessary, wet hands to better shape into rounds.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes, until browned.
- Remove to a wire rack to cool before serving.
- Note: For the gluten free flour mix, I use: 2 parts brown rice flour, 2/3 part potato starch and 1/3 part tapioca starch.
