INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the butter into pieces, place in a pan with the water and bring  to
the boil, swirl the pan occasionally to make sure that the butter
melts before the water boils. Remove from the heat and quickly add  the
sifted flour in one go, beating until the mixture forms a smooth  paste
which leaves the sides of the pan.  Allow to cool slightly, then
gradually add the beaten eggs, beating  well by hand or with a hand
mixer after each addition. Grate the  cheese and beat in 100g of it
with the mustard, cayenne pepper and  seasoning.  Spoon the choux
pastry into a piping bag fitted with a large plain  nozzle or use two
tablespoons to shape the dough. Line a large baking  sheet with oiled
greaseproof paper and pipe or spoon balls of the  mixture side by side
on to the paper to form a ring shape 25cm in  diameter. Sprinkle with
the remaining grated cheese.  Bake 180C/35F/gas 4 for 20-25 minutes
until well-risen and golden  brown.  Meanwhile, prepare the filling.
Heat the olive oil in a shallow pan  over a medium heat, add the washed
and thickly sliced leeks and cook  gently, turning in the oil for 5
minutes.  Add the washed and sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for
a  further 2-3 minutes, then add the wine and creme fraiche, increase
the heat and allow to boil until the sauce has reduced by half.  Reduce
to a gentle heat, add the chopped herbs and seasoning, then  stir
gently to mix.  Slide the gougere onto a large, warm serving plate,
fill with the  leek and mushroom sauce and serve immediately.

A Message from our Provider:

“Our hopelessness and our helplessness are no barrier to (God’s) work. Indeed our utter incapacity is often the prop He delights to use for His next act… We are facing one of the principles of Yahweh’s modus operandi. When His people are without strength, without resources, without hope, without human gimmicks – then He loves to stretch forth His hand from heaven. Once we see where God often begins we will understand how we may be encouraged. #Ralph Davis”
