Learning To Cook French

Being from the Midwest (and not a big city) French cuisine is hard to find. There is so much to learn about preparing French cuisine that I created this blog to share what I learn.

Pate a Choux (A Puff Pastry)

Pate a Choux is a type of puff pastry that is used to make classic pastries such as Profiteroles or Eclairs. This is really a simple process and only has a few ingrediants so why not make a batch up and share with your friends and neighbors.

Ingrediants Include:

1 cup of water
1 stick of unsalted butter
1 cup of sifted flour
4 eggs

place the water and stick of butter in a sauce pan and bring up a boiling point. Add in the flour and keep stirring, it will come together quite fast. Let it cook a little bit longer while stirring. Remove from the heat and let it cool, then add the eggs one at a time and stirring it into the dough completely before adding the next one.

Now that you have the dough made, you can make Profiteroles or ....... Chocolate Eclairs which is pictured below... I will be bring this receipe to you soon.
