Course: Appetizer, Side Dish, Snack
Servings: 12 cheese puffs

Ingredients

  • 150 g self-raising flour
  • 125 ml milk or oat milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 200 g grated cheddar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180 Celsius.
    In one mixing bowl, whisk the milk and the egg together until they are smooth. I just used skimmed milk - it's totally ok, you don't need full fat milk for this.
    In another mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredient until they are well combined.
    Cheese Puff Batter
  • Next step is adding the dry ingredients bowl into the wet ingredients bowl and gently combine. You should see the bicarbonate of soda and self-raising flour immediately reacting and producing foam like pockets.
    Grease or line a baking sheet and plop a tablespoonful of batter as portion. Repeat and space them out by a few centimetres - like I did on the photo.
    cheese puffs
  • Bake them for 10 minutes, they will start to puff up immediately in the oven and cook very quickly, so you just want to reach a light golden colour - and then they are done.
    Eat them warm or cold next day (just cover them so they don't go stodgy).
