IDK, they didn’t puff up for me. Followed the recipe exact, but it just turned into cheesy pancakes.
I think I did somethin wrong, mine burnt on the bottom. Ugh, how do you avoid that??
I had the same problem! Make sure your oven is at the right temperature. Sometimes the oven can be off, which makes things burn.
Maybe you left them in too long? These things can go from perfect to burnt real quick! Just keep an eye on them next time.
These gougères are to die for! So cheesy and fluffy! Would definitely make again.
Gougères? More like gooey mess. My kids wouldn’t eat it, they said it looked funny. Next time, maybe just stick to pizza.
Yummy! Took some to a party and they were gone in minutes. Everyone loved them!
That’s awesome to hear! They’re always a hit at gatherings. What kind of cheese did you use?
