Ingredients
Instructions
- Put butter and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Add flour and beat vigorously until smooth.
- Remove from heat and add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Drop the batter by teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake in a 350° to 375°F oven for 30 minutes until puffed and golden.
- Cool the puffs and fill with ham, chicken, tuna salad, or your preferred filling.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of your puffs. If you don’t have eggs, a flaxseed meal mixed with water can serve as a substitute, though it may alter the texture slightly. Consider adding herbs or spices to the batter for extra flavor. These puffs pair beautifully with the Vegelona Patties for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions
Fill the cooled puffs with a variety of fillings such as ham, chicken, or tuna salad for a delightful appetizer or snack. They also make great party food when served alongside a fresh salad or the Choc-Oat Chip Bar Cookies for dessert. Consider garnishing with fresh herbs for added presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover sandwich puffs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, which helps restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fat instead of butter?
Yes, you can substitute butter with margarine or a plant-based butter alternative. However, keep in mind that this may slightly change the flavor and texture of the puffs.
What should I do if my puffs don’t rise?
If your puffs don’t rise, it could be due to undercooking or not beating the batter enough. Ensure you beat the mixture until it’s smooth and shiny before baking, and always check your oven temperature for accuracy.
Can I freeze sandwich puffs?
Absolutely! You can freeze the unfilled puffs in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat them directly from the freezer, baking at 350°F until warmed through, then fill as desired.
