  1. CREATIVE COOKING 2 CHOUX PASTRY

  2. Choux pastry • Crisp, light and egg flavored, versatile pastry dough • Can be used to make a casing suitable for desserts, hors d’oeuvres and appetizers based on desired fillings

  3. Choux pastry comes from the French term “my little cabbage” because they look like cabbage when piped in to a cream puff form.

  4. There are four main ingredients in choux pastry • Flour – provides structure • Margarine/butter – tenderizes the baked product • Water – provides liquid for steam which is the leavening agent • Eggs – structure, leavening, flavor

  5. Choux pastry may be formed to many sizes and shapes Eclairs and puffs

  6. Choux swans

  7. There are 5 basic steps to choux pastry 1. Bring water & fat to boil 2. Add flour all at once 3. Stir, flattening and turning ball of dough against pan to dry paste (about 3- 5 minutes)

  8. Remove from heat, add eggs one at a time, stir each time until glossy • Drop by spoonfuls or pipe through pastry bag with tip. Bake

  9. Cream puffs may fail • If you undermix gluten will not develop allowing dough to stretch and rise • If you let butter and water boil to excess, water will evaporate and fat will separate

  10. After shaping, bake immediately To ensure greatest expansion and lightness. During baking the crust traps steams causing them to inflate, stay hollow and puffy

  11. If removed from the oven early the structure has not solidified and will collapse or look flat • Remove when done and cool to a wire rack

  12. Cream puffs may be filled with a variety of fillings • Whipped cream • Pudding • Tuna or chicken salad • Cream cheese

  13. Nutrition • Choux contains eggs for protein and flour which is a carbohydrate
