Ingredients:  
1 cup water ■ 1/2 cup butter cubed ■ 1/4 teaspoon salt ■ 1/4 teaspoon pepper ■ 1 pinch cayenne pepper ■ 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour ■ 4 eggs beaten ■ 1 cup shredded extra old Cheddar cheese ■ 1/2 cup finely diced prosciutto or crumbled cooked bacon

Directions:
Line 2 large rimless baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

In heavy saucepan, bring water, butter, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper just to boil; remove from heat. Add flour all at once; stir vigorously with wooden spoon until mixture comes away from side of pan in smooth ball.

Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring constantly, until coating begins to form on bottom of pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to large bowl; stir for 30 seconds to cool slightly.

Make well in centre of dough. Using electric mixer, beat in eggs, one-quarter at a time, beating well after each. Beat until smooth, shiny and dough holds its shape in bowl. Stir in cheese, prosciutto, and caraway seeds (if using).

Drop by scant tablespoonfuls (15 mL), 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on prepared pans. Bake in top and bottom thirds of 425º oven, rotating and switching pans halfway through, until puffed and golden, about 20 minutes.
