Hi guys! Here are a few tips you can include when making choux pastry to exclude wastage of eggs! 1) crack one egg at a time. Seeing Sally’s recipe, even 3 eggs would’ve sufficed but of course with choux you cannot really tell. 2) after adding the last bit of your egg, and if your dough still needs only a tad bit more addition of eggs, you can use a splash of milk instead. It won’t make much a difference. 3) adding a Craqueline on top of the choux brings it to a whole new place! 4) use a silicon mat with circles as a guide (or just draw on the back of your baking paper, and then pipe.) leave efficient amount of space as these will expand.

Been baking choux pastry for nearly 40 years and stíll found a couple of REALLY useful tips in here I had NEVER read anywhere before! 😍😍😍

[@yummyyumm3448]

Hi, I made these today.. Mine just collapsed when I took them out the first time (to poke them with the skewer).. And mine were no where as crunchy as her cream puffs.. Instead, they were soggy.. 😓😥 You said you've been making the pastry for years now. Could you please let know what might have gone wrong with mine? The only thing I did differently is that I added 5 eggs, because the dough wasn't making that V when lifted..

[@Trixtah]

@@yummyyumm3448 you don't explain what went wrong with your V test - like, did all the dough fall off, or none of it? The finger "trench" test is more easy to use, I think. It's pretty clear if the sides of your dough are holding up. The only advantage to the v test is that it's a little quicker just lifting your mixing implement out to check. Adding your eggs should be done until it has a nice satiny gloss, no more than that. Then check with the finger trench. If the trench doesn't hold up, then beat some more - you don't need more egg - less really is more. Sally didn't even use four eggs - personally, I'd beat three of them and add them a bit at a time. Then check as Sally does at 5:35 - at that point, you'll notice nearly all the dough falls off her mixer blade easily, it doesn't cling together to form the "beard". If it's still really dry, beat and add another egg, but not all at once. Do it in basically tablespoon amounts at at time until it's nice and glossy. If it's getting glossy the end of four eggs but not quite a full sheen, try a splash or two of milk rather than the extra egg. If you feel like there's no hint of gloss at all, again, just add the final egg a small bit at a time - it's very unusual to use all 5 eggs for this quantity. Also, the part where you let the batter cool and lose moisture is quite important - that's a massive bowl and the mixture is spread out quite a lot. My bowls are nowhere near that big, and what I've done is spread it over greaseproof paper and even put it in the fridge for a few minutes (my fridge is very efficient and makes the air very dry inside, so I certainly wouldn't recommend that for everyone unless you know your fridge well). But it really does sound like it was too much egg.

[@yummyyumm3448]

@@Trixtah thank you so much.. Can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking out your time and typing all that.. It was very helpful, I'll keep that in mind the next time I make them

[@rbnutwood4659]

If you ever visit Bakewell, go to the original pudding shop opp the tourist centre, deli downstairs, tearoom upstairs, & order a Bakewell pudding, nothing like a B tart but eggy, hot & delicious. They will ask, ‘Wi’ custard or wi’ cream?’ Have both! 😋 Then buy some treats for f&f from the deli downstairs 😉
