Pâte à Choux!

  • 250 g (1/4 liter) water
  • 140 g flour
  • 110 g butter
  • pinches of salt and sugar
  • up to five eggs
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Put water, butter, flour, salt, and sugar in a pot over heat. As soon as it boils, remove from heat, add in all flour at once and stir.
  3. Return to heat and mix continuously until the dough pulls away from the walls. This helps to dry out the dough.
  4. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl, mix in one egg at a time ensuring complete incorporation before adding the next. The dough should be thick and keep its shape when piped.
  5. Either use a pastry bag or use teaspoons to transfer dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets. Dough will expand, so leave a little space between each dough ball. Put into the oven until uniformally golden-brown. Reduce heat in oven to 300 degrees for five minutes for the balls to dry out. They’re done when they feel light and hollow.
