1. Making the Choux Pastry:
The choux pastry, or pâte à choux, is what makes cream puffs puff up into that light, airy texture. Here’s how to make it perfectly:
- Step 1: Prepare the Dough: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1/2 cup unsalted butter . Heat this mixture over medium heat until the butter is fully melted. Stir gently as it heats, so the butter melts evenly and the water doesn’t evaporate.
- Step 2: Add the Flour: Once the butter has melted, add 1 cup of flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the saucepan. Stir it constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula. It will form a paste, but keep stirring until it forms a ball of dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan (about 1-2 minutes).
- Step 3: Let It Cool & Add Eggs: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the dough cool for about 5 minutes. Then, add 4 large eggs , one at a time, stirring vigorously after each addition. The dough should be smooth, thick, and shiny.
- Step 4: Shape the Puffs: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon or pipe the dough into small mounds (about 1 inch in diameter) on the baking sheet. The puffs should be spaced at least 1 inch apart since they will puff up in the oven.
- Step 5: Bake the Puffs: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puffs are golden and puffed up like little clouds
. Let them cool completely.
