Pipe on an angle, aiming for logs that are 12 – 14 cm long, 2 cm wide and 1.5 cm tall (5″ long, 0.8″ wide, 0.6″ tall).

Now that your choux pastry is ready, it’s time to pipe it onto the parchment paper. If you don’t want to pipe it, you can use two big spoons. Or you can fill silicone molds as I will show you later. Salt (optional). Even though it helps with flavor, it also strengthens the flour. It can be added if using unsalted butter, but ensure it is no more than 1% of the liquid. Too much salt will strengthen the gluten, and the pastry will not rise. The second phase of baking is when your pastries will start setting and drying out. The coagulated egg proteins and the gelatinized starch will provide more structure to your baked goods. The steam will escape from tiny holes on the surface of the shell. It’s important to dry out your choux properly at this stage. If you take them out of the oven too early and there is moisture remaining in the pastry, you will end up with soggy choux. You should have cooked the panade longer. Use a kitchen thermometer or cook for an extra minute over low heat.Cool 10 minutes– Once the dough looks like pictured above, take the saucepan off the stove and let it cool for 10 minutes. For profiteroles/cream puffs: hold the piping bag directly above the sheet and pipe, moving straight up as you go – to avoid extra ripples in the dough. Make them around 4cm/1.5inches round and 2 inches tall and pipe 3-4 inches apart. You should be able to pipe around 20 rounds. Making puff pastry is a time-consuming process; you have to keep rolling, folding and re-rolling the dough and chilling it in the fridge in between. But there is an easier way to make it. This method was invented by TV cook, Delia Smith. Enough for 6 servings. When all of the butter is in, take a palette knife and start to mix the butter into the flour. Sprinkle the cold water evenly over the flour and butter mixture and bring it together with your hands. You may need a tiny bit more water but make sure you don’t add too much. If you do, add a bit more flour to compensate.

Profiteroles are frozen and usually filled with ice-cream and topped with ganache. While cream puffs are not frozen, filled with cream and dusted with confectioners sugar. .. What do I need to make choux pastry? Since I also don’t want my eclairs to puff up too much, I like to dust the eclairs with confectioner’s sugar instead of water. Confectioner’s sugar slightly caramelizes on the shells, giving them a little extra sweetness and a delightful crunch. A signature feature of éclairs is a shiny chocolate glaze. If you just melt ordinary chocolate chips, the glaze won’t be shiny. The secret is a touch of glucose or corn syrup! 1. Ingredients for shiny chocolate glaze The oven temperature was too high, and the pastries were set before they could puff. Reduce the oven temperature, and bake on the middle oven shelf.

This might be due to improper mixing when adding the flour to the hot liquids (step 3 in the recipe card below: making the panade). Make sure you sift the flour and add it to the water-butter mixture off the heat. Only return the pot to the heat once the flour has been fully incorporated. The liquids shouldn’t be too hot (around 95°C/203°F is good) when you add the flour or you might have trouble mixing it in.

We know that it comes from France. It’s a light, airy, crispy pastry used to make chouquettes, cream puffs/profiteroles (both sweet and savory), choux au craquelin , croquembouches, gougères, French crullers and more. Flour, eggs, butter and water are all you need to make it. And depending on who you ask, choux pastry is either super easy or insanely difficult to make. What’s up with that? Let’s find out. Allow the edge of the pastry to slide off the rolling pin and into the pie dish, then gently pull the rolling pin out from underneath and the pastry should drop into the pie dish. Press it down firmly and chill for 15 – 20 minutes before adding the pie filling – which should be cold. Note: Do not let the butter-water boil for ages before adding flour as this may affect the outcome of the recipe since there will be too much heat in the saucepan. Boiled for too long. You may have boiled the sugar, butter, and water for too long. You caused too much of the water in the recipe to boil off. If there’s too little water in your choux, there won’t be enough steam to help the puffs inflate.

This is inevitably the fate of all ready-to-eat pre-filled eclairs sold at patisseries. Of course they’re still totally delicious! But the experience of eating a homemade eclair in its optimum state of freshness is something else entirely – something everyone should try it at least once in their life. Choux pastry doesn’t follow the “traditional” baking method: mix ingredients and then bake. You actually have to cook it first on the stove, and then bake it. And then once cooled you can split them open fill with whipped cream, maybe a lemon curd, or pastry cream. Or you can also pipe a filling into the cream puffs without splitting them open. Just poke a hole into the bottom with the tip of a filled piping bag and squeeze away! I find a lot of recipe resources tend to make a big deal about how choux pastry is notoriously difficult to make unless you follow precise directions and loads of dogmatic “rules”. But honestly, it’s not hard if you follow a few basic steps. I’ve never experienced a failure with my recipe, though I will say the one step I added over the years to make it even more foolproof is to cool the dough before adding the eggs. 1.
