Ingredients

3/4 cup flour PLUS

2 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch slices

3/4 cup water

4 large eggs

4 ounces Swiss Gruyere cheese, coarsely grated

1/2 teaspoon of lemon pepper seasoning

4 ounces of claw crab meat from the refrigerator section

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Grease a lipped cookie sheet lightly with extra butter wrappers I know you save in your refrigerator or freezer just for this use.

Bring salted water in medium sauce pan to a rolling boil with the butter.

Dump in the flour all at once, Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until it pulls away from the side. Keep beating well.

(good for the upper arm flap exercise)

Add eggs one at a time off the heat and beat well after each addition.

Finally fold in the crab, lemon pepper and cheese.

Spoon onto prepped cookie sheets and cook for 15-20 minutes in hot oven. Remove to cooking racks and resist eating while piping hot. It hurts. Serve soon after.

NO dipping sauce is necessary but some of us (ahem) like to dip. I generally use the whipped horseradish sauce previously posted as the dip of choice for crab gougere.

I could eat a whole batch of gougeres - the addition of crab would make them disappear even faster...I love your idea of smoked oysters, too. There are so many possibilities for these little bites of heaven!
