If you're looking for a scrumptious way to get a party started, bring out a tray of these cheesy crab puffs. They bake up golden brown and taste wonderful right out of the oven. Try serving them with soup instead of bread or crackers. Ingredients:
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon water |
1/2 cup butter |
1 tablespoon ground mustard |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4 eggs |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded swiss cheese |
1 can (6 ounces) crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, bring the water, butter, mustard, salt, cumin and hot pepper sauce to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes.
2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until smooth and shiny. Stir in the cheese and crab.
3. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 23-26 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Serve warm. Yield: about 4 dozen.
