MINI CRAB PUFFS
MINI CRAB PUFFS 1 6 ½ oz can crabmeat or 6 oz. imitation crabmeat ½ c. (2 oz.) shredded Cheddar cheese 3 scallions, minced 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 4 eggs 1 tsp. dry mustard ¼ tsp. salt 1 c. water ½ c. butter or margarine 1 c. flour Mix together first seven ingredients. Set aside. In a large saucepan, heat water and butter to boiling. Remove from heat immediately add flour: beat until mixture leaves sides of pan and forms a ball. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated completely. Beat in crab mixture. Drop teaspoons of dough about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Cool and freeze. To serve, reheat frozen puffs at 350 ° for about 10 minutes. Yields about 5 dozen.
Bea, do these have to be served piping hot or are they still good if they cool?
They are much better warm. If serving over a longer time is the issue, reheat about a dozen at a time, and serve as they are hot.
Thanks.
