Laying and Baking Choux

Technique for laying cream puffs and éclairs, and for their baking.

  • Level : advanced
  • Use : For cream puff-based recipes

For this course, you need :

  • Cream puff paste
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 pastry bag
  • 1 standard nozzle
  • 1 brush or 1 fork
  • 1 baking sheet

Main Points :

  • Slightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Lay the choux or the eclairs.
  • Glaze the surface of the choux with a fork so as to apply a thin layer of eggs and to avoid it to drip down onto the baking sheet.
  • Put in a hot oven (300°C or 570°F).
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • At the end of the baking process, reduce the temperature of the oven down to 150°C (300°F) and let the choux dry up for a short moment to avoid their falling down.
