Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Rye flour
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, water, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and add the rye flour and all-purpose flour to the saucepan all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together into a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon, beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. The mixture should become smooth, glossy, and slightly sticky.

Step 6

If using, stir in the caraway seeds for extra flavor.

Step 7

Using a piping bag or two spoons, drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and feel light.

Step 9

Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and let the puffs sit in the oven for 5 minutes to ensure they stay crisp.

Step 10

Remove the puffs from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
