You can bake some on a lazy weekend morning with your family and have them for breakfast/brunch almost straight away (taking into account the baking time of course). They are so addictive, try them!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cup (150g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 (120ml) cup water
- 1/2 (120ml) cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 5 large eggs
- Pearl sugar to decorate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 480°F (250°).
- Sift the flour in a medium bowl.
- In a saucepan, heat the water, milk, salt, sugar and butter over low heat. Remove the pan when the mixture begins to simmer.
- Add in the flour all at once and stir with a wooden spoon until no lumps remain.
- Set back to heat on the hob and stir until you achieve a smooth ball of dough that leaves the sides of the saucepan clean. Remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the dough in a cold saucepan. Chill for a couple of minutes.
- Stir the eggs into the pan, one by one, either by hand with a wooden spatula or on low speed with a stand mixer.
- Transfer the dough into a piping bag and pipe very small quantities of dough into little puffs onto a baking sheet. Leave enough space between each one to allow them to triple in size while baking.
- Sprinkle with some pearl sugar and bake on convection mode for about 20-25 minutes or until the buns are golden brown (the baking time depends on the size of the puffs). Please note that you must absolutely not open the oven door while baking.
- Transfer the French petits choux “chouquettes” onto a wire rack.
