📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine milk, butter, salt, cayenne, and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add flour all at once, and stir rapidly with a wooden spoon to combine. Cook, stirring rapidly, until the batter becomes smooth and leaves a crust on the bottom of the pan, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl and let cool, stirring occasionally, until you can hold your finger in the dough for a few seconds without burning, 5 to ⏱️ 10 minutes. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed, adding eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated and smooth between each addition. Beat for ⏱️ 1 minute. (When completed, the dough will be very smooth and velvety.) Stir in cheese.

Transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a small hole cut in one corner. Pipe small balls of dough (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter) onto prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches in between each one. Bake, in batches, until golden brown, 17 to ⏱️ 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
