Crab Puffs

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 25 min. YIELD: about 4 dozen.
If you're looking for a scrumptious way to get a party started, bring out a tray of these cheesy crab puffs. They bake up golden brown and taste wonderful right out of the oven. Try serving them with soup instead of bread or crackers.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tablespoon ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 can (6 ounces) crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed

Directions

  • 1. In a large saucepan, bring the water, butter, mustard, salt, cumin and hot pepper sauce to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes.
  • 2. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until smooth and shiny. Stir in the cheese and crab.
  • 3. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 23-26 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks. Serve warm.
