Indulge in a delightful snack with these Beef Burger Puffs, a savory treat that marries the richness of beef with a crispy, golden exterior. Perfect as an appetizer or a hearty bite to complement any meal, these puffs are a true crowd-pleaser. Here’s how you can make them at home:

Ingredients:

• 200 ml water
• 100 grams butter or margarine
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 3 frozen beef burgers, cut into small pieces
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• Oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Begin by measuring out all your ingredients and setting them aside for easy access.

2. Making the Dough:

   • In a medium saucepan, combine the water, butter, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it reaches a boil.
   • Remove the pan from heat and quickly add the flour all at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture is well combined and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, forming a smooth dough.

3. Cooling and Adding Eggs:

   • Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes until it is warm to the touch (it should not be too hot to handle).
   • Once the dough has cooled slightly, add the eggs one at a time. Mix thoroughly after each addition until the dough is smooth and each egg is fully incorporated. Continue this process until all the eggs are added.

4. Incorporate the Beef and Onions:

   • Fold in the chopped beef burgers and green onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

5. Frying:

   • Heat a generous amount of oil in a deep pan or fryer over medium heat.
   • Using two spoons, scoop up portions of the dough. Use one spoon to shape the dough into balls and the other to carefully drop them into the hot oil.
   • Fry the puffs, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and puffed up. This should take about 4-6 minutes per batch. Be attentive, as the puffs need to be turned frequently for even coloring.

6. Draining:

   • Once the puffs are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.

7. Serving:

   • Serve the Beef Burger Puffs warm and enjoy their crispy, savory goodness. They make a fantastic addition to any meal or can be enjoyed on their own as a satisfying snack.

Enjoy your delicious Beef Burger Puffs! 💕
