Total Time 35 minutes
Servings: 20 pastries
Course: Dough basics
Cuisine: Home cooking

Ingredients
  

  • 100 ml milk
  • 100 ml water
  • 100 g butter
  • 140 g flour
  • 4-5 eggs
  • salt pinch
  • sugar pinch

Method
 

  1. Put all the ingredients except the flour and eggs into a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
  2. Add all the flour at once and stir well with a spatula, cooking the dough. Within a minute it should come together and start pulling away from the bottom and sides of the pan.
  3. Remove from the heat and let it rest for 15-20 minutes so the dough cools and settles.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Add the last egg gradually, until the dough reaches the right consistency.
  5. Transfer the finished dough to a pastry bag and pipe your choux pastries.

Notes

This amount makes plenty of choux pastries: eclairs, profiteroles and choux buns.
