Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1¼ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs plus 1 additional egg if needed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a saucepan, combine the cubed butter, milk, and salt. Heat over medium until butter melts and the mixture is smooth.
- Add the flour all at once and stir vigorously until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated each time until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
- Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe out your desired shapes on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes until golden and puffed up.
Notes
For best results, ensure that the eggs are at room temperature before adding them to the dough.
If your dough seems too thick, you can add the additional egg to reach the desired consistency.
Choux pastry can be filled with a variety of creams or custards for different flavors.
