Make Gougères Heat oven to 425 degrees, and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water, butter, salt and cayenne to a boil. Stir in flour all at once and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until dough pulls away from the sides of the pot, 1 to 2 minutes.
Beat in the cheese. Scoop out the gougères: Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing the about 1-inch apart. Bake the gougères at high heat: Bake for 5 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature: Reduce the heat to 350°F.
Gougères are best served warm from the oven, so Dorie suggests keeping the scooped dough in the freezer, ready to bake. You can slide them into the oven straight from the freezer before your guests arrive; just allow a few extra minutes in the oven. To begin, bring the milk, butter, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
