Recipe for Cream Puffs & Éclairs
Ingredients:
- 1kg Basic Ingredients Choux Pastry Mix
- 1kg Egg Pulp
- 750g Water
Method:
- Combine Ingredients: Add the Choux Pastry Mix, egg pulp, and water to a mixing bowl in the order listed.
- Initial Mixing: Start mixing on medium speed for 1 minute to combine the ingredients. This ensures a smooth and uniform consistency.
- Scrape Down: Pause the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate any dry mix.
- Beat to Perfection: Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for 8 minutes. This step is crucial for developing the smooth, stable batter with the perfect consistency for piping.
- Pipe the Batter: Transfer the batter to a piping bag and pipe your desired shapes (e.g., small rounds for cream puffs or long lines for éclairs) onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C. Baking time will vary depending on your oven and the size of the puffs or éclairs. Remove from the oven when they are golden brown and fully puffed.
Notes:
- If using fresh eggs, reduce the egg content by 250g.
- For best results, leave some space between each piped shape to allow for expansion during baking.
- Always adjust the baking temperature and time according to your oven’s performance and the desired level of browning.
