Choux Pastry

[madmum]

I have been wanting to try out making choux pastry for a while now, but it seems quite hard to master

Is there any do's and don'ts or any good tips for it please?

Thanks xx

My mom makes this for cream puffs but I have never tried it.

Here are some instructions I found.

Thank you for that, it is really helpful

Just one question, when it says a cup full, is it an ordinary drinking cup size??
or does it equivalent to lb's and oz's

I checked on a recipe conversion site and this is what it came up with. You weigh your flour, correct?

4 oz. plain/strong/sifted = 1 Cup all-purpose/self-raising/unbleached = 5 oz. unbleached white

Very easy! Make sure to add each egg one at a time.

Thanks for that we used your tip with the eggs today..

We made the first lot, which was a total flop, it was really soggy and when I brought them out of the oven they just sank... Not detered we tried again, they are in the oven longer than you really think and they turned out quite well.
My family aren't be cream eaters, so I made some butter cream (which they love) and filled them with that and they turned out quite good

They look perfect!
