Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and add all of the flour at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the flour is fully incorporated and a smooth dough forms.
Return the pan to low heat and continue stirring for about 2 minutes. The dough will start to dry out and pull away from the sides of the pan, forming a ball. This drying step is key for crisp gougères.
