Step cooking
How to make Choux pastry and billet baking
- In a stewpan, put 50 grams of butter, 30 grams of sugar, a pinch of salt, 50 ml of water, 100 ml of milk. Put on medium heat.
- Bring the composition to a boil, stirring it with a whisk.
- Pour 55 grams of wheat flour into a saucepan, pour all the flour at once. Sift flour twice before. This will ensure the uniformity of the test. Turn off the fire immediately.
- Stir thoroughly with a whisk so that the custard mass stumbles into a lump.
- Shake off the mass from the whisk, put the stewpan with a lump of dough on a small fire. For 35-40 seconds stir the mass with a cooking spatula. This is done to get rid of excess moisture.
- Let the custard cool down for 1-1.5 minutes. Transfer it to the mixer bowl. Stir for 40-60 seconds.
- Beat 2 chicken eggs with a whisk until smooth. Add the egg mash to the mixer bowl in parts, 3-4 times. The next part of the pour only after the dough has absorbed the previously poured portion. Look for consistency of mass. If it becomes liquid, do not add more egg. You may need less or more egg mass than indicated in the recipe. Batter can settle, and a batter can not rise.
- You can mix custard mass manually. It should have a consistency of thick sour cream, drain from the cooking spatula with a continuous tape.
- Transfer the finished dough into a cooking bag with an asterisk nozzle, any other curly, serrated nozzle. Lightly tap the bag, driving air out of the bag.
- Place the dough in pieces on a silicone mat with special markings for eclairs, placed on a baking sheet. If there is no such mat, use parchment paper. The distance between the workpieces should be at least 4-5 cm. The length of the workpiece is 8-12 cm (choose the size as desired).
- Sprinkle the powdered sugar (15 grams) from the strainer.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 170 ° C for about 30 minutes. Baking should be well browned. Eclairs are better to bake than to bake. Unbaked products will settle in the air.
