Product Information

A good shortcrust pastry should be golden, crisp, and melt-in-the-mouth. It’s the most popular pastry for making pies, quiches, and tarts. This makes enough pastry for a double crust pie to serve 6 people. Roll out the pastry to an oblong that’s 3 times longer than it is wide. Use your hands to pat the edges of the pastry and keep it as straight as possible. You should have cooked the panade longer. Use a kitchen thermometer or cook for an extra minute over low heat. Whole Eggs. Most recipes call for large eggs weighing 55 grams each in the states. Whenever possible, weigh your eggs before adding them to the dough. And always bring them to room temperature before use.

Profiteroles are frozen and usually filled with ice-cream and topped with ganache. While cream puffs are not frozen, filled with cream and dusted with confectioners sugar. .. What do I need to make choux pastry? I’ll try to write a post detailing how to use a piping bag in the future. But for now, there are two key steps which you should keep in mind: Turn the dough out onto a floured board or work surface and flatten it out into a sausage shape. Wrap it in cling film and chill for 15 minutes. Ordinarily, chocolate for eating is not intended for cooking so it does not always melt well. Lindt is an exception. There are probably other brands, I am just not aware of any. Ok I’ll be honest I always thought they were! I always used them interchangeably. But…as you may have read above. There is a difference.Pumpkin: fill with pumpkin cream cheese filling, top with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar or the brown butter icing from this peach Bundt cake It’s also a close cousin to non-French classics like churros, Yorkshire pudding and American beignets in terms of its texture and composition. Once the butter is melted, bring the mixture to a boil over high heat and then remove from the heat, keeping it on. Firm peaks means that the peaks stand straight upright , like pictured. (Soft peaks, on the other hand, flop over slightly like Santa hats!). So when should you use milk? It all depends on your preferences and the recipe you are making. Sometimes, softer and richer choux are more desirable. Other times, you will need crispy choux that last longer and can be used for decorative pieces.

Allow the edge of the pastry to slide off the rolling pin and into the pie dish, then gently pull the rolling pin out from underneath and the pastry should drop into the pie dish. Press it down firmly and chill for 15 – 20 minutes before adding the pie filling – which should be cold. Absolutely. The choux pastry can be made two days ahead of time. Just simply keep covered until ready to use. When piping profiteroles, hold the bag about 1 inch over the pan at a 90-degree angle. Then gently press the dough, and do not move the bag until the dough reaches the tip. Moving the pastry bag up or down will create ruffles and misshape the choux buns. Topping and finishes Have your profiterole shells collapsed? Do your eclairs have sunken concave bottoms?They’re not the, round, hollow, perfect choux pastry shells you see in bakeries?Choux pastry doesn’t follow the “traditional” baking method: mix ingredients and then bake.

For example, the ratio is critical to the success of our french pastry dough: If we decide to use shortening instead of butter, we need to use 80% butter because it is 20% water. This light, puffy pastry is used to make things like eclairs and profiteroles. The puffiness is down to the high water content in the pastry; water creates steam, which causes the pastry to expand. Enough for 18 profiteroles or 8 eclairs. The big debate! Ok maybe not big..but still. A debate nonetheless. I’ve successfully made choux pastry on both. Let me just be clear!
