Smoked gruyere cheese puff FAIL


My neighbor invited me to a party she was throwing for her birthday and I thought it would be nice to bring something to snack on. I was really excited when I found this cheese puff recipe, I mean smoked gruyere is crazy good. I could probably eat a whole block of it in one sitting, which is pretty gross. I wanted to make this recipe gluten free so I substituted out normal flour for the gluten free brand. The recipe also called for a dough mixer which I didn't feel I needed. You can already see why this didn't work out. Without the mixer and adding in three eggs it called for, it turned it into a complete mess. So I stated to add more flour in a panic to make it dough again. It was so sticky and gooey getting it into balls onto the tray was terrible. Once I got all the different sized balls on the tray I put them in the oven. After being in the oven for about 15 mins I saw they started to look good and they smelled great. Once the buzzer went off they were golden and I thought it might have worked out. Nope, I took the biggest one and it was raw in the middle, I put them back in the oven for 15 more minutes. Still raw in the middle and the outside was about to burn if I cooked them any longer. They look great, sadly it didn't work out. Valiant effort for the cheese puffs...
