Choux Pastry (with the Thermomix)

Today I offer you the simplest way to create choux pastries at home with the help of your Thermomix: it’s a system that I find very convenient because everything is done in the Thermomix bowl without dirtying anything else.

Currently, I use the Tm6 model

Here are some other recipes for choux pastry:

  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Cost: Economical
  • Preparation time: 30 Minutes
  • Portions: 30 Pieces
  • Cooking methods: Oven, Electric Oven
  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: All seasons

Ingredients

  • 200 ml water
  • 110 g butter
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 160 g all-purpose flour
  • 4 whole eggs

Tools

  • Mixer Thermomix
  • 1 Piping Bag
  • 1 Plain Nozzle
  • 2 Baking Trays
  • Parchment Paper

Steps

  • 1. Place water, butter, salt, and sugar in the bowl and cook: 5 minutes and 30 seconds at 212°F, speed 1.

    2. Add all-purpose flour and mix: 20 sec at speed 4

    3. Let it cool for 15 minutes by removing the bowl from its housing.

    4. Reposition the bowl, add the eggs, and mix: 50 sec at speed 5

    The dough is ready!

  • Transfer the dough into a piping bag with a plain nozzle 9 or 10 mm.

    Line the tray with parchment paper and start creating small balls by pressing the piping bag (I count to 3) and leaving about 2 inches of space between each.

    Turn on the oven to 338°F and bake the trays for about 20 or 25 minutes.

    Towards the end of baking, I open the oven to let the humidity out and close it immediately.

    Let the choux cool completely before filling and decorating it.

It keeps perfectly frozen.
