Choux pastry for eclairs and profiteroles
Eclairs and profiteroles areĀ very tasty cakes that can be filled with a variety of creams, salads, etc. Eclairs are made of choux pastry - nothing complicated, everything is simple and quick.
They are made of choux pastry.
Composition:
- eggs - 4-6 pcs.
- butter - 100 gr.
- water - 1 tbsp.
- flour - 1 tbsp.
- salt - a pinch
Preparation of choux pastry for eclairs and profiteroles:
Bring water, salt and butter to a boil.
Without removing from the heat, pour in the flour and mix thoroughly until the flour disappears.
Then remove the dough from the heat, cool slightly, and add the eggs one at a time, thoroughly mixing them into the dough until the dough begins to stretch.
Depending on the size of the eggs, you may need different amounts.
Line a baking tray with baking paper and use a pastry syringe (or just a spoon) to pipe the dough onto it. For the eclairs, shape the dough into oblong strips and for the profiteroles into round balls, 4-5 cm apart.
Bake on the lower level of a preheated 180 degree oven for 20-25 minutes - until browned. Do not open the oven during baking, otherwise the eclairs will fall off.
And do not open the oven.
Cool the finished brownie billets, fill with cream or other filling and serve.
Enjoy!"
