Pâte à Choux | Choux pastry dough | Recipe
Hello,
Welcome back to my channel. Today we are starting a new recipe focussed series, and making choux pastry is the perfect recipe to start this new series on the channel.
Pâte à choux (or choux pastry) is very versatile, and this recipe can open a world of delicious possibilities for you! Once you master it, not only the classic chouquettes, profiteroles, choux aux craquelins, and cheese gougères are opening for you. So many more recipes leave so much space for your imagination.
---------------------------------------------------
🥚 RECIPE (main)
- Pâte à choux
120ml of water (or milk)
40g of butter (salted or unsalted is ok, depending on what you're making)
120g of all-purpose flour
2 large eggs (room temperature)
🥚 RECIPE VARIATIONS
🌸 - Choux aux craquelins (craquelin recipe)
This can be done in advance... either just before making one batch of the pâte à choux dough or 1-2 days in advance. Keep in the fridge until you're ready.
60g of soft butter (unsalted, room temp)
70g of brown sugar (light or dark will work)
70g of all-purpose flour
...mix together all the ingredients and flatten the dough to a 0.5cm thin sheet (I strongly recommend flattening the craquelin dough between two parchment paper sheets) and leave it in the fridge until it gets harder. Once it's hardened, get it out of the fridge and, with a round cookie cutter, cut a bunch of disks. When you are assembling your choux aux craquelins, make sure the craquelin disk is a little bit bigger than your pipped choux pastry dough (as shown in the video)
🌸 - Cheese gougères
Add about 100g of finely grated cheese per batch of choux pastry dough. Gruyère, Parmesan or Pecorino are the best. No soft cheese. Let your imagination run wild.
🌸 - Chouquettes
No modification to the original recipe, but topped (before baking) with Pearl sugar which is compressed sugar crystals that won't melt away once baked. You can usually find pearl sugar in specialty baking supply stores.
🌸 - Chocolate eclairs
No modification to the original recipe piped in a log shape.
Once cooled down, dip the top of your eclairs in melted chocolate and stuff (either with a whole from the bottom or slice them in half to make little sandwiches style (my favourite way)) with pastry cream, diplomate cream or anything else you fancy.
