  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/2   c            Water
     1/2   c            Unsalted butter,
                        Cut into bits
     1/2   c            All purpose flour
   2       lg           Eggs
     1/4   lb           Stilton, crumbled
                        (about 1 cup)
   4       sl           Bacon, cooked crisp
                        And crumbled fine
   3       tb           Minced scallions

  In a small heavy saucepan combine the water, the butter, and a pinch
  of salt and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the
  heat to moderate, add the flour all at once, and with a wooden spoon,
  beat the mixture until it pulls away and forms a ball. Remove the pan
  from the heat, add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each
  addition, and stir in the Stilton, the bacon, the scallion, and salt
  and pepper to taste. Drop rounded teaspoons of the batter two inches
  apart onto lightly buttered baking sheets and bake the puffs in the
  middle of a preheated 425 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until
  they are crisp and golden. Makes 36 hors d'oeuvres.
