QuantityIngredient
1cupWater
½cupButter (or marg.)
1teaspoonSalt
teaspoonPepper
1cupFlour, all-purpose
4Eggs
1cupCheese, Cheddar;finely diced

Directions

Bring water, butter, salt, and pepper to a boil in a saucepan. Add flour quickly, all at once, beating with a wooden spoon until mixture forms a ball that leaves sides of pan. Remove from heat. Add eggs to flour mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition (mixture will separate as each egg is added to it). Set aside 2 tablespoons diced Cheddar cheese; stir remaining cheese into flour mixture. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls (about 11) onto a greased baking sheet to form an 8" ring, leaving a 2-½ to 3-inch diameter hole in center. Sprinkle reserved cheese over top. Bake at 425 degrees for 50 to 55 minutes or until puffy and golden brown.

Serve hot.
