Directions

  1. Starting with the choux pastry, we can create a wide variety of both sweet and savory recipes. ≈ 3 min
  2. Place the water, salt, and butter in a non-stick saucepan. ≈ 3 min
  3. When the water starts to boil, remove the pot from the heat and add the flour all at once. ≈ 3 min
  4. Quickly mix in the flour until a smooth, firm dough forms. ≈ 10 min
  5. If the dough is too wet, dry it out over the heat for a few minutes. ≈ 3 min
  6. Adding the eggs is a delicate procedure. ≈ 3 min
  7. It’s possible that 3 eggs are enough. ≈ 3 min
  8. It’s important to know when to stop. ≈ 3 min
  9. Crack the last egg into a bowl, so that you can add it gradually later. ≈ 4 min
  10. Add the eggs one at a time until you achieve a smooth and consistent mixture. ≈ 3 min
  11. Stop adding eggs when you see the dough forming a “peak” as you try to spread it with a spatula. ≈ 4 min
  12. Place on a well-greased pan, either by spoon or directly. ≈ 2 min
  13. If you are applying the product with a sponge, roll out the edges with your finger or a damp brush.
  14. Bake at 200 °C (205 °C) for 15 to 20 minutes in the center of the oven.
  15. Once the cabbages have grown well and started to show color, partially open the oven to allow them to dry.
