CHOUX PASTRY

How to do choux pastry.

Recipe for about 20 choux.

Ingredients :

- 100 gr flour
- 165 gr water
- 2,5 ~ 3 eggs
- 50 gr butter
- 1 level tsp salt

Heat up the water with the butter in a sauce pan. When it starts to boil, add the flour in one time. Stir until it forms a ball. Place again over gentle heat and let it dry for a while, like 1 or 2 minutes. Keep stirring.

Now, add 1 egg and mix until absorbed, add another egg and mix again until homogeneous. Now add only half of the last egg, mix and check the dough, it has to be smooth but not too much. If you put a finger on it, the dough has to stick on it doing a spike when you take the finger off.  If the dough is a bit thick then add the egg that left.

 The dough is ready to be used.
