Ingredients
-
8 oz. Milk
-
8 oz. Water
-
1 pinch Salt
-
8 oz. Butter, cut into pieces
-
8 oz. Bread flour
-
16 oz. Eggs
Directions
- Bring to a boil the milk, water, butter, and salt.
- Add the flour all at once, stir to incorporate.
- Continue to stir until the mixture forms a mass and leaves a thin film behind on the
bottom of the pan. - Place in mixer and paddle on medium while adding most of the eggs gradually.
- Continue to add eggs gradually checking the consistency. Stop adding the eggs when
the choux slowly slides down the paddle. - Using a #6 straight tip pipe out 3-inch choux onto parchment-lined sheet pans or pipe into 7 – 8-inch circles for a Paris-Brest.
- Allow to rest for 20 minutes, in open air to develop a skin.
- Bake at 375°-400°F until the choux is baked and dry on the inside.
