Preparation

Choux pastry

  1. In a saucepan, bring the salt, caster sugar and butter to the boil. Mix the flour with the Régilait powdered milk and yeast. Pour the whole mixture into the saucepan in one go. Stir quickly away from the heat until the dough separates from the edge of the saucepan to form a ball.
  2. Dry the dough over the flame while continuing to stir.
  3. Remove from the heat and add the eggs one by one, stirring until completely absorbed into the dough. Prepare little balls with the piping bag on a buttered tray or a sheet of greaseproof paper. Add grains of pearl sugar over the pastries. Bake in the oven at 210°C for 20 to 25 minutes.
  4. Once cooked, leave to cool.

  3. Place in a container and leave to cool.
