Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Bring the corn, butter and salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low, add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 2 minutes.
- Scrape the dough into a bowl; let cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring well between each addition. Stir in the cheese and chives. Chill the dough 15 minutes.
- Scoop tablespoon-size mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with more cheese. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown and puffy, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. This will help ensure that your puffs are flavorful and delicious.
- Be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. This is especially important for the flour, as too much or too little can affect the texture of the puffs.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the puffs tough.
- Fry the puffs in hot oil. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming greasy.
- Drain the puffs on paper towels before serving. This will help remove any excess oil.
