Stage 23/23 : 30 min.

Cooking


Put in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Remove choux from the oven as soon as they are browned.

Note: Don't open the oven door during cooking, because the drop in temperature will make your choux collapse.

Leave to cool on a wire rack

Remarks

According to whether the choux pastry will be used for a sweet or savoury recipe, you can double the quantity of sugar or salt to accentuate the taste. For example: you want to make sweet cream puffs, make this recipe with 2 g salt and 5 g sugar, for salted cream puffs (with bechamel sauce for example) use 2 g sugar and 5 g salt.
