Choux pastries are commonly used to prepare creamy puff pastries, eclairs, and profiteroles. Choux pastry relies on rising steam to create a hollow center that is then filled with custard or cream. When preparing the choux, you have to know how to measure all the ingredients well. You should always remember that the oven should not be open, your puff pastry is made so that the puff pastry does not stop inflating.
The following are your required ingredients
80 ml of water
50 g plain flour, sifted
40g butter
vegetable oil
2 eggs
Preparation
Place the butter and water in a saucepan then place over medium heat. Stir for 3 to 4 minutes until the butter is melted. Let the mixture boil.
Add the flour and use a wooden spoon to stir the combination. Bring to a simmer and cook. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes or until it forms a ball and begins to pull away from the pan. Set the mixture aside for about 5 minutes and allow it to cool slightly.
Beat 1 egg in a bowl and set aside. Beat the remaining egg and add to the flour mixture. Beat well with a wooden spoon. Gradually add the reserved egg. Beat the mixture until it comes off the spoon.
· Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
· Paint the baking tray with oil to lightly grease it. Pour 25 to 30 teaspoons of the mixture onto the tray, about 3cm apart. Lightly brush the top of the mixture with the remaining egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the mixture from the oven and turn it off.
· With a small knife pierce the top to release the steam. Return them to the oven. Leave them for 15 minutes to dry. Remove from oven and place on wire rack to cool.
