Pâte à Choux (Method of Prep)

Pâte à Choux is something I have made multiple times at home and at work. We made four different things with this one type of dough.

First you gather your five ingredients: water, butter, flour, salt, and eggs.

You then pipe out the various shapes such as cream puffs and eclairs and then egg wash them.

You then bake the shells for about 20 minutes at 350˚F. Once they are  cooled you can fill them with different cream fillings and top them with ganache or powdered sugar.
