Helpful Tips for Making Ham and Cheese Puffs

The dough for these puffs is made using biscuit mix. This can't be used interchangeably with all purpose flour.
You can adapt with a different flavor of cheese for the dough using the same amount.
If you'd like to add a little kick, along with the Creole seasoning add a pinch or two of cayenne.
I recommend that you serve these ham and cheese puffs with sweet hot mustard for dipping. Otherwise, Creole mustard or honey mustard or, a variety of mustards to suit everyone's taste.
A small scoop makes dividing the dough a cinch. You could also use a tablespoon to drop the dough into the wells of the muffin pan. Try to divide evenly so the puffs will be uniform in size.
These puffs can be baked, cooled then packaged and frozen. Reheat in a 350°F oven just until heated through.
