Description

Get ready to blast off into the world of flavors with these out-of-this-world Galaxy Puffs! A playful take on traditional cheese puffs, we're adding a pop of color and nutrition with beetroot. These fun bites are perfect for little astronauts on-the-go.

Ingredients

Dry ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (yes, you read that right - Parmesan!)

Wet ingredients:

• 1/2 cup beetroot puree
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• A pinch of black pepper

Cheesy surprise:

• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for an extra burst of fun!)

Instructions

1. Preheat your spaceship (oven) to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and Parmesan cheese.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the beetroot puree, melted butter, egg, salt, and black pepper.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be gentle, we don't want any space rocks!
5. Add the shredded mozzarella cheese to the mix and fold gently (like you're handling a precious gemstone).
6. Transfer the dough to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner cut off.
7. Pipe small, rounded puffs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
