Instructions

  1. Put the butter and water into a saucepan over low heat.
  2. Add the flour and salt, then turn the heat to simmer. Stir quickly until a dough forms and does not stick to the saucepan. Let it cook for about 1-2 minutes to dry out the water slightly.
  3. Transfer the dough to a large bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time using an electric mixer on low speed until the mixture is well combined and sticky.

How to Pipe Choux Pastry

  1. Using a plastic bag with one bottom corner cut off (make a small opening), scoop the dough into the bag and push it down toward the snipped corner. You can also use a piping bag.
  2. Squeeze and pipe the dough onto a greased baking sheet or one lined with parchment paper. When piping the dough, use a clockwise motion to form small coil shapes. Leave enough space between each pastry.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes

  • Some eggs are bigger than the others. Use small eggs or just barely 1 cup of eggs if you can't decide on the size of the eggs.
  • In warmer countries, the pastry dough might be too "runny" and hard to form a shape when you're ready to bake the choux pastry. Chill the choux pastry dough in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before piping them for baking.
  • DO NOT use aluminum foil for baking as the bottom of the choux pastry will be burned. I ran out of parchment paper hence I used aluminum foil.
