Preheat your oven to 180°C / 355°F (gas mark 4). In the
main bowl, grate the cheese using the grating disc. Set aside.
Pour the water into a pan, add the diced butter and sugar.
Bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and tip in all the
flour. Mix quickly with the spatula. Return to the heat for
approximately 1 min until the dough forms a ball and no
longer sticks to the sides of the pan.
Draw aside and place the dough in the bowl with the dough
hook. Process for 1 min, then add the eggs one by one via
the feed tube. Process for a further 1 min. Add the comté
cheese and blend for 5 seconds
Lightly oil a baking tray.
Transfer the mixture to a piping bag* with a plain nozzle (or
use a teaspoon) and pipe out small mounds on the tray,
making sure that they are well-spaced. Bake for 15 min at
180° C / 355°F (gas mark 4).
