Step by step recipe


Stage 1 - 43 min.
Chouquettes
Prepare 15.8 oz Choux pastry (pâte à choux), but add 3 times the sugar of the original recipe.

Stage 2 - 10 min.
Chouquettes
Make small regular heaps with the choux pastry on a baking sheet, about the size of a Euro or pound coin (1.5 cm or half an inch).

Stage 3
Chouquettes
As always with this sort of work, you'll find a forcing bag very useful.

If you don't have one, use 2 teaspoons: one to scoop up the mixture from the pan, the other to push it out.

Stage 4 - 2 min.
Chouquettes
Glaze the tops of the heaps.

Stage 5 - 5 min.
Chouquettes
Throw 1.4 oz Pearl sugar onto the heaps with a short sharp gesture which will help the crystals stick to the beaten egg.

Finish with a dusting of caster sugar, or granulated sugar if you have some.

Stage 6 - 25 min.
Chouquettes
Put in the oven immediately at 210°C (420°F) for about 25 minutes. Watch the colouration carefully, and turn the sheet back to front if the cooking is not even.

Stage 7
Chouquettes
Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Your chouquettes are ready.

Stage 8
Chouquettes
Here's a variation for the summer: cut the cold chouquettes in half horizontally with a serrated knife.

Stage 9
Chouquettes
Wash 5.2 oz strawberries, remove the stalks and cut into small dice. Mix with 4 tablespoons Chantilly cream.

Stage 10
Chouquettes
Fill the chouquette halves and replace the tops.
Remarks
Please note, chouquettes do not keep well. You can keep them in an airtight tin for just a day or two, but after this they tend to dry out. If filled with cream they keep even less well, just a few hours in the fridge.
Keeping
1 or 2 days in a closed metal box.
