- Beat all ingredients together slowly until uniform, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Roll out between two pieces of baking paper until 2-3 mm thick. Place on a tray and freeze.
- Cut the craquelin with a ring cutter, approximately 3.5 cm diameter. Place in a container and freeze.
Gougères
- Combine milk, water, butter, salt and sugar in a medium sized saucepan and bring to the boil on medium heat, Induction setting 7.
- Add in the flour, mix thoroughly and beat with a wooden spoon on medium heat, Induction setting 5, until a smooth dough forms and it pulls away from the pan.
- Transfer to a food processor with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed and add the cheese until fully incorporated.
- Add the egg, in 4-5 batches, beating well between each addition. Beat until the mixture is cool.
- Transfer the mixture to a piping bag with a large plain nozzle.
- Using a single pipe and push method, pipe the mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Pipe into domed shapes, approximately 3-4 cm high and 3-4 cm in diameter.
- On each of the gougères, place a disk of the gruyere craquelin on top.
