To prepare the savoury choux pastry, start by pouring the water into a saucepan then add the butter, pepper and salt.
Bring to the boil.
Take the pan off the heat, add all the flour at once, and mix vigorously with a spatula until you have a smooth mixture that comes away from the sides of the saucepan.
Return to a low heat for 3 minutes to dry out the dough, stirring continuously.
Remove from heat.
Add eggs, one at a time, stirring vigorously each time, until they are well mixed in.
Now add the grated cheese.
Season to taste with fine salt and freshly ground pepper.
Put the mixture in a piping bag with a fluted nozzle.
Set aside at room temperature.
When you are ready to serve, heat the cooking oil to 170°C.
Pipe 6 cm (approx.) strips of dough directly into the oil.
The temperature of the oil may drop to 160°C.
Allow to brown for a few minutes then turn the churros over.
Turn the cooked churros out onto kitchen paper.
Eat whilst hot.
😉 Tip: Serve the churros with a variety of dipping sauces and tapenade Sud’n’Sol and eat as finger food.
