Beating choux paste is an important procedure to ensure a perfect pastry. After adding the flour to the water and butter, beating the paste by hand or electric mixer will blend the ingredients thoroughly so that you will have a smooth paste with no lumps of flour. Then when adding the eggs, again it is important to beat the mixture in order to have a silky, smooth and glossy choux paste.

How is choux paste made?

You bring milk to a boil and add flour stirring quickly to form a thick paste. Let it cool slightly and then beat in eggs. This forms choux paste. It's then piped onto a cooking sheet and baked to form eclairs, cream puffs, and other pastries.


My attempt at making choux pastry failed. The puff did not rise at all. What happens if you use baking powder in choux pastry?

I wouldn't use baking powder in choux, if you follow simple rules the recipe should work. I always use bakers flour, the more water in a recipe (choux, puff etc) the more gluten you need. Firstly when you add the flour to the boiled water and butter make sure you beat it well, cook it out over a low heat for a couple of minutes before cooling it prior to adding the eggs. Add the eggs slowly, one at a time, use a mixer if you think you need to. The mix must emulsify before you add anymore egg. Make sure the oven has moisture in it, if you don't have steam injection mist water over the choux shapes and the tray before putting into the hot oven. Never open the door during the first 15 mins of cooking time. Cook the puffs till a darkish golden brown, and as soon as you take them out cut them in half and scoop out any uncooked dough, if you don't the uncooked dough will soften the puff. Good luck.
