    100 grams of plain flour (0.80 us cups) (

    To cook the choux pastry
    Once "Laid out" on the baking tray, cook the puffs (Choux) in a oven at 200 Celsius (390 Fahrenheit) for 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size of the puffs or eclairs.. When the puffs have a nice golden color, put the temperature down to 175 Celsius (350 Fahrenheit), open the oven door slightly and let the puffs or eclairs sit in the oven for another 5 minutes (make sure you leave the oven door just slightly open) . This is to avoid the collapsing of the puff. After 5 minutes take the puffs or eclairs out of the oven and let them cool down a bit before using them.

    I was really scared to make these because I'm not a very good at baking BUT GUYS they were sooo good. I put custard in them and oml *chefs kiss* delicious. Definitely try this recipe if youre hesitating, I ended up using 2 and a half eggs instead of 3 and had to cook mine longer because my oven is trash. 10/10 would make again.

    Please note. When Choux pastry is removed from the oven, pierce the top of each with the tip of sharp knife or a bamboo skewer, to allow steam to escape. If you omit this step, the interior will be soggy. Make sure you allow them to cool completely before filling.

      nonsense, i was french trained and this tip is rubbish, they way they cool is the way they are supposed to be.
      they are supposed to moist in the middle, try learning the proper french way before thinking you know better, you know diddly squat.

    • @FrenchCookingAcademy
      @FrenchCookingAcademy  8 лет назад +2

      +kinn grimm Thanks for the comment kinn. for eclairs the most important is the filling and the icing which can be a pain to get in the shop when you are not a restaurant. as a quick tip you add melted chocolate or chocolate syrup in your pastry cream to make chocolate eclairs. it's "delicieux"

      What do you do differently? There certainly is a technique to it. The last lot I made smelt eggy while baking, I realized I put the egg in the mix when the choux was too hot. I guess I need to get the temp down to a certain level before adding the eggs. What's your technique? Maybe I should try your recipe 😊

      Congratulation and thank you for trying this recipe its great to hear! This is a very useful one to know. So now that you know how to make Choux puffs, if you have not done it yet, impress your friends and family by serving homemade profiteroles. This is how it goes: cut your choux in half, put a ball of vanilla ice cream on the bottom part and then cover with the top half. Quantity is 3 puffs per person. Just before bringing the plates out, pour hot chocolate sauce on top on top of your choux puffs. its a winner everytime. Thanks again.
