Chorizo And Roasted Corn Gougere

1. 1

   To roast corn (optional), place saute pan on medium-high heat. Saute corn until caramelized and golden brown. Remove from pan and allow to cool.

2. 2

   Place the Smart Oven+ Baking Stone Attachment in oven. Select STONE BAKE mode and preheat to 400u00b0F.

3. 3

   In a large saucepan, bring water, butter and salt to a rolling boil. When the butter is melted, add the flour/paprika mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula for 30 seconds until the dough forms a sticky ball and pulls away from the side of the pan. Stir vigorously to incorporate all the flour and liquid. Reduce heat to medium-high heat and continue stirring mixture, for another 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat.

4. 4

   Mix dough in stand mixer on lowest setting using the flat beater.

5. 5

   Add 1 egg at a time; mix thoroughly until completely incorporated; the dough will separate at first. Add the next egg, incorporate well and then continue to 3rd egg. If dough is shiny and moist do not add 4th egg. The dough should be very pliable. Add cheese, cooked chorizo and roasted corn; mix together in stand mixer.

6. 6

   Using a spatula, place dough in a pastry bag and cut off 1 inch of the pastry bag. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Pipe a 2-inch wide by 1-inch high amount of dough on cookie sheet about two-inches apart. If you don't have a pastry bag place a heaping tablespoon of dough on parchment paper about 2-inches apart.

7. 7

   Transfer parchment paper and Gougeres onto the preheated Baking Stone in oven. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until Gougeres are golden brown and puffed. Remove cooked Gougeres from oven by sliding the parchment paper onto the cookie sheet. Serve immediately.
