Creating your cheese puffs is straightforward and fun! Just follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Make the Dough: In a saucepan, combine water and butter. Bring to a boil and stir until the butter is melted.
3. Add Flour and Seasoning: Remove from heat and stir in flour, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix until it forms a ball of dough.
4. Cool the Dough: Let your dough cool for about 5 minutes before adding eggs.
5. Incorporate Eggs: Add one egg at a time, stirring well after each addition. The dough should become smooth and glossy.
6. Add Cheese and Spices: Fold in your shredded cheese and garlic powder, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
7. Shape the Puffs: Use two spoons or a piping bag to drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffs are golden and puffed up.
9. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and let the cheese puffs cool for a few minutes before serving.

By following these simple instructions, you will yield cheese puffs that are truly outstanding in flavor and texture.
