BAKED PâTE à CHOUX
A piping bag (an inexpensive investment, and it lasts forever) is the easiest way to form the dough into whatever shape you choose, but you can always use a plastic freezer bag with one corner snipped off, or two spoons. The imperfections that occur with a plastic bag or spoons can be repaired by dipping your finger into water and smoothing out the rough spots.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 and grease a baking sheet with butter. Put the butter and a pinch of salt in a saucepan over high heat; add 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and add all the flour at once; stir constantly until the mixture pulls away from the pan and forms a ball, about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and beat in the eggs one at a time; use an electric mixer if you like, and beat until the mixture is smooth. (At this point, you can cover the dough and refrigerate it for up to two days.)
- If you're planning on piping out the dough, scoop it into a pastry bag with a 1/2-inch tip, or a plastic freezer bag with a corner cut off. Pipe the pastry onto the baking sheet, or just use two spoons to form your desired shape. Cream puffs should be circles about 1 inch wide and a little over 1 inch tall; éclairs should be 3-to-4-inch fingers, about 1 inch wide.
- Bake until the pastries are golden brown, nicely puffed up and sound hollow when you tap on them, about 30 minutes for cream puffs and 40 minutes for éclairs. Use a skewer to prick one or two holes in each one to allow the steam to escape; transfer to a rack and let cool to room temperature.
- To fill the pastries using a pastry bag, poke a hole into the pastry and pipe the filling into it, or cut off the top caps of each pastry, spoon in the filling, and close it up like a sandwich. (Éclairs can be slit open and filled, too.) Serve as is, or drizzle with chocolate sauce.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425°F and adjust oven rack to the middle. Line two half sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Place the water, butter, and salt in a 3-quart saucier, set over high heat, and bring to a boil. As soon as it boils, add all of the flour at once and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture starts to come together, about 1 minute. Decrease the heat to low and continue stirring until the mixture forms a ball and is no longer sticky, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low speed for 5 minutes to cool, or until there is no more steam rising. With the mixer still on low speed, add the eggs and egg whites, one at a time, making sure each is completely incorporated before adding another. You will need to stop the mixer occasionally and scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle attachment. Before adding the last egg white, check the mixture for consistency: It should tear slightly as it falls from the beater, creating a"V" shape. The mixture may only need 1 egg white.
- Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a plastic coupler and a round tip. Pipe a little of the mixture into the four corners under the parchment paper to hold it in place on the sheet pans.
- Pipe the mixture into 2 1/2-inch-long strips on the parchment, 4 rows of 6. Use a clean dampened finger to smooth any tips left from piping.
- Place the sheet pan of eclairs in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 more minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately pierce the bottom of each eclair with a paring knife to release steam. Repeat with the remaining eclairs. Let cool completely before filling.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and butter, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the salt, sugar and flour, and stir vigorously with a heatproof spatula. Cook, stirring constantly, until a dense dough forms that pulls away from the side of the pan, about 3 minutes.
- Add the dough to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. On low speed, beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions to make sure everything is evenly mixed.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Using a 1-ounce scoop, drop the dough, 1 inch apart, onto the prepared cookie sheet. Bake until puffed and golden, 35 to 40 minutes. (The puffs should feel light when you pick them up.) Make sure to keep the oven shut until at least the halfway point -- if you open the oven before 20 minutes have elapsed, the puffs will deflate and you won't be able to get the texture back. Remove the puffs from the oven and prick each one on the side to allow the steam to escape. Let cool completely.
- To dip in chocolate: If desired, dip the tops of the puffs in Warm Chocolate Ganache, shaking off the excess. Place on a platter and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Let stand for about 30 minutes, to set the glaze, before eating.
- Heat 1 inch or so of water in a medium saucepan over low heat. Put the chocolate chips and cream in a heatproof bowl that fits snugly into the saucepan without touching the water. Heat, stirring, until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In 2 quart pot, combine the butter and water. On a piece of wax or parchment paper, sift together the flour, salt and sugar. Bring the water and butter to a rolling boil, remove from heat and dump the flour mixture in all at once. Stir with a wooden spoon or paddle to incorporate.
- Return the saucepot to high heat and cook, stirring, for about one minute. The mixture will form a ball and coat the pan with a thin film.
- Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl or standing mixer equipped with the paddle attachment. Mix the dough for a minute or so, on low speed, to release some of the heat. Add the eggs, one at a time, completely incorporating each one before adding the next. Beat until the dough gets thick and ribbony.
- Fit a pastry bag with a round #5 tip and fill with the warm dough. Line a heavy cookie sheet with parchment paper and anchor it to the tray with a little dab of the dough at each corner. Pipe about forty to forty five 1 1/2-inch mounds about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden and puffed. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and there are no droplets of moisture in the crevices. Turn off oven and leave the choux to dry for another 10 minutes. Use when cool, or freeze, wrapped in a plastic bag, for 2-3 months.

Steps:
- Place a bowl on your mixer and fit the paddle attachment to it.
- Put your eggs next to the mixer.
- Mix the milk, water, butter, sugar and salt in a 2-quart saucepan.
- Bring to a full boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
- Stirring constantly, add the flour all at once, and stir quickly and without stopping until the flour is thoroughly incorporated.
- Then continue to cook and stir for another 45 seconds, or until the dough comes into a ball and a light film of paste coats the bottom of the pan.
- Immediately scrape the dough into the bowl of your mixer, and turn the mixer on low speed.
- Let it mix for a minute or two - the first few turns of the paddle will put up a cloud of steam.
- That's fine.
- Just let it mix until no more steam is coming off the dough.
- Then add the first egg, letting it mix in fully before adding the next one.
- Keep the mixer on low speed - you don't want to incorporate too much air into the paste.
- Scrape down the bowl every 2nd egg just to make sure everything is mixing together.
- Before adding the 6th egg, stop the mixer and check the consistency of the dough.
- You will know it is perfect if, when you lift the paddle, it pulls the dough with it, then the dough breaks away and forms a peak that slowly bends down.
- If the dough is too thick and doesn't form that peak, add the last egg.
- The dough is now ready to be used to make éclairs, cream puffs, profiteroles, or any other recipe calling for choux paste.
- It should be used immediately.
- NOTES FOR MAKING CHOUX PASTE SUCCESSFULLY: The liquid must be heated to a full boil.
- Add the flour all at once and stir madly until every last speck of flour is incorporated, then keep cooking and stirring some more - it's this last bit of cooking that will take the raw taste out of the flour; you'll know you are ready to quit when the dough forms a ball around your wooden spoon and the bottom of the pan is covered with a light film of paste.
- Stop mixing when you still have one egg left to add and inspect the dough.
- Depending on the condition of the flour, the room, or the moods of the pastry gods, the dough may or may not need the last egg.
- The dough is finished when you lift the paddle and it pulls up some dough that then detaches and forms a slowly bending peak - if you don't get a peak, add another egg.
- And relax.
- Even if you can't decide what to do, add the egg - you will still get a good puff.
- Use the paste while it is warm.
- It cannot be kept.
- Unfilled puffs or éclairs can be well wrapped and frozen for a few weeks.

PATE A CHOUX
Pate a Choux (pronounced paht a shoo) is one of those pieces of kitchen magic. It is used to make an array of puffy pastries such as Eclairs and Profiteroles. A unique, double-cooked dough, Pate a Choux inflates to tremendous proportions when baked in a high temperature oven given the high ratio of eggs to flour. Surprisingly simple to execute, this recipe is worth knowing, if only for the "Wow" factor.

Steps:
- Using a large pot, bring the Water, Butter, Sugar and Salt to a boil over high heat.
- Chef's Note: It is important to cube the Butter into small pieces so that it melts completely before the Water comes to a full boil. If the Water boils too soon, there will be too much evaporation and the final dough will be too dry.
- As soon as the Water reaches a boil, add the Bread Flour in a single addition. Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture over medium-high heat until a homogeneous dough forms. Continue to actively stir the dough over the heat ("Dessecher") until it forms a ball that easily pulls away from the side of the pot - approximately two to three minutes.
- Chef's Note: When adding the dry ingredients, stir aggressively - the dough should form quickly. Cooking the dough mixture for a couple of minutes causes the starches in the Bread Flour to gelatinize and also dries the dough.
- Transfer the dough to a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat the dough on medium speed for several minutes, releasing heat and steam. While the dough cools, beat the Eggs and Egg Yolks together in a separate bowl and set aside.
- Once the dough is no longer hot, add the Eggs in no fewer than six additions. After each addition, mix the dough until the Egg is completely incorporated. When all of the Eggs have been added, the dough should be slightly fluid (i.e. when a trench is drawn through the center of the dough, it should fill back in within a couple of seconds).
- Chef's Note: It is important that the dough cools slightly before the Eggs are added or else the Eggs will cook. However, if the dough is too cold, the Eggs will not mix in well.
- Form and bake the Pate a Choux according to the specific recipe. Most pastries made with Pate a Choux are baked in a high temperature oven (i.e. 400+ degrees Fahrenheit) for over 20 minutes.

CHOUX PASTRY- FOR PROFITEROLES, CREAM PUFFS OR ECLAIRS
An easy pastry to make. Can be used for profiteroles, cream puffs or eclairs. Pastry can be frozen after being cooled. When defrosted return to the oven to crisp if required. Unfilled pastries can be frozen for up to two months. For eclairs top with chocolate and fill with cream. For profiteroles top with chocolate and fill with custard or vanilla cream. For cream puffs sprinkle with icing sugar and fill with cream. A quick creamy filling is to blend a box of powdered dessert vanilla custard pudding mix with a carton of thickened cream (just use a balloon whisk). It's been a long time since I have used this recipe-so my servings is a guess

Steps:
- Place the butter and the water in a saucepan. Bring the water to the boil and stir until the butter has melted. Remove from the stove.
- Stir in the sifted flour. Add the flour all at once. Beat until smoth.
- Return to the heat, and stir vigourously until the mixture leaves the sides of the saucepan and forms a smooth ball.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Whisk the eggs well and then add them to the choux ball. Beat the eggs into the mixture.
- Use a piping bag to pipe 7-10 cm lengths for eclairs, or place in spoonfuls onto greased cookie trays for cream puffs or profiteroles or pipe into dotted shapes for uniformly shaped profiteroles.
- Bake in a hot oven - 220°C for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 200°C and continue to cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Turn the oven off.
- Remove from the oven and immediately make a small slit in the side of each puff to allow the steam to escape. Return to the oven for a few minutes to help dry them out. The oven has already been turned off.
CHOUX PASTRY (FOR CREAM PUFFS, ECLAIRS, ETC)
Basic choux pastry dough for eclairs, cream puffs, profiteroles, almond rings, crab puffs, etc. These are much easier to make than I would have thought, and they have a nice tast. You need fairly large saucepan because of all the stirring. I got 16 half dollar sized cream puffs out of one batch. This recipe comes from "Fabulous Cake Decorating" printed by Eaglemoss.

Steps:
- Chop butter, melt in water and just bring to boiling. Immediately add flour, and mix well with wooden spoon, until it forms a dough that leaves the side of the pan (it looks really gross and clumpy at first, but as you keep stirring it fixes itself). Remove from heat and cool 2 minutes.
- For a sweet pastry, add the sugar to the beaten eggs. Stir in the eggs, mixing until it look like dough again (this is gross at first too).
- Now you have many choices: using a pastry bag or spoon, shape the dough as desired (for puffs: use a spoon or pipe a mound, eclairs: pipe a line, rings: pipe a circle, profiteroles: pipe a mound w/star tip) onto a greased cookie sheet. Keep in mind that it will grow to aprox 3xs its size when done.
- Bake at 425 'til it looks crisp and golden, about 30 mins for half dollar sized puffs. Cut in half, or cut a slit in the side to let the steam escape- if you don't do this fairly quickly they get soggy inside.
- They save for a while in tupperware, unless they're filled. You are supposed to fill them with freshly whipped cream that has a touch of powdered sugar and vanilla or almond added in, but I just fill them with buttercream frosting because its cheaper and tastes pretty good too.

Steps:
- Melt butter in water - bring to a boil. Add salt (tip: don't add salt till water boils to avoid pitting your stainless pans). Add flour all at once and stir like crazy. Don't panic. The mixture will get quite lumpy and sticky. Reduce heat to low and stir for one minute. Do not skip this step. This allows the flour to absorb absolutely every drop of water possible and the rest to evaporate. Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. Let cool approximately 5 minutes or until you can touch the dough without letting out a holler! Add one egg at a time and stir until dough absorbs it completely. Do not add them all at once. When you are through, your dough should be smooth and will form a "V" shape as the excess drops away when you pull the spoon up out of it.
- You can either pipe it into 3 inch eclair shapes using a pastry bag or use a small scoop to form 1 1/2 inch balls for a cream puff look. Either way, use a greased sheet pan or use a silpat and keep them at least 2 inches apart. They will get much larger and they need space! Each one holds a great deal of moisture that causes steam which will ruin the guy next to him and they'll be mushy instead of nice and crisp.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Do not peek, you'll ruin them! They need privacy!
- The eggs cause the dough to form a really nice hollow middle that just screams to be filled with something gooey! We use sugar free instant pudding. Just add 1 1/2 cups of milk instead of 2. That way your filling won't be too runny. Banana and cheesecake seem to be the favorites around here as well as chocolate. Most people use vanilla for eclairs but that's so "expected!"
- For a nice topper, you can melt Nutella with a small amount of milk to make a hazelnut ganache to drizzle over the tops. Or, if you're in a pinch for time, you can just melt a can of frosting in the micro! These are also really great cut in half, filled with ice cream and served with chocolate topping and whipped cream. Woah mamma!
- I also like to slice them in half and fill them with chicken or tuna salad. They make incredibly delicious and beautiful sandwiches to serve with your favorite soups or salads! Everyone is always so impressed when I say I made them myself. Enjoy!
