Subtitles section

One of the first things that I learned how to make in a commercial bakery was pate a choux or a choux pastry.

Now this versatile dough can be used to make some of the most iconic things like cream puffs and profiteroles and eclairs.

And then you have croquembouche, you have crullers, you have St.

Honoré cake.

Bridget, Bridget, Bridget, I gotta stop you.

You haven't gotten to the best one.

Which is what?

I think I named them all.

No, you didn't.

Choux au craquelin.

It is amazing.

So it's a cream puff, which we all know and love.

Love it.

Right?

So it's choux paste filled with a beautiful pastry cream that's lightened a little bit with whipped cream.

And on top is the craquelin, which is basically a cookie dough that melts and drapes over and gets crisp in the oven.

So you have crispy, soft,

Pastry cream, it's everything.

So, we're going to start with the pastry cream.

It's going to take the longest to cool down, right?

So, I'm starting with two cups of whole milk in this medium saucepan here.

And I'm going to bring this to a simmer over medium heat.

So, while that's heating up, we're going to mix the rest of our pastry cream ingredients together.

So, I have two thirds of a cup of all purpose flour in here.

To that, we're going to add sugar.

I have half a cup of granulated sugar.

And a quarter teaspoon of table salt.

And we'll just quickly whisk this together.

So flour's our first thickener.

The second is egg yolks.

So we have six large egg yolks here.

These obviously add beautiful eggy richness, and they're also going to provide thickening when we get into the heat of it.

And then I have another half a cup of cold milk here.

Great.

So we'll just whisk this together.

Okay, so this is nice and smooth.

I'm going to get our milk, which is at a nice simmer right now.

And so we're going to start the process of tempering.

So this is really important.

We've got eggs in here.

We don't want them to curdle.

What we're going to do is basically whisk in about half a cup of our hot milk.

We want to do this slowly here, because we want to bring the temperature of this mixture up a little bit.

So we don't want to flood it with a lot of hot milk at this point.

You'd get curdling there.

So we're just going to whisk constantly.

Get about a half a cup in there.

And this gently brings the temperature up.

Okay, great.

So that's there.

we're gonna add it back to our milk here.

And this is actually the opposite where you wanna add it really quickly because this is the hot thing and adding this quickly will neutralize that and bring it down to a more even temperature.

So again, whisking constantly and just flood it right in.

Okay, so now it is time to cook our pastry cream.

So I'm going to put this over medium heat, and there's going to be a lot of whisking and a lot of stirring, because what you don't want to have happen is flour, egg, just hit at the bottom, get too hot, curdle, and then you don't have a very even mixture.

It takes about a minute.

Okay.

Okay, great.

You can see that thickening up a little bit there.

So now at this point, we don't want to risk it anymore.

We're going to go down to medium low.

So we're going to whisk this constantly for about eight minutes.

We really want to thicken this up.

Beautiful.

That is a lovely mixture there.

Lovely mixture, right?

We're actually going to go even thicker than this.

Oh.

So I'm going to turn it back up to medium.

Okay.

I'm going to whisk for about one to two minutes.

What we're really looking for is if I drop the pastry cream on the top, it really clumps on top, so it doesn't blend easily back in.

All right, let's check it.

And that's great, nice and thick.

So I'm going to turn off the heat and slide it off the heat up here.

Now it's time for our last two additions.

So I have four tablespoons of cold butter and a tablespoon of vanilla extract.

Whisk this together.

So we're going to get it into a nice, large, wide bowl.

We want this to cool down kind of as quickly as we possibly can, and a wider bowl is going to do that.

Pastry cream loves to form a skin on top, and we don't really want that in this application.

So I'm just going to do a little bit of parchment, lightly sprayed, and it's going to get pressed right on top of it.

So we want this to chill down completely.

It's going to set and thicken up really nicely, and that takes at least two hours in the fridge, up to twenty four hours.

So pastry cream is out of the way.

We're going to work on the craquelin.

We're going to start with six tablespoons of softened unsalted butter.

And to that, we're going to add half a cup of light brown sugar.

I'm just use my spatula.

And because we have softened butter, we'll just kind of smear it and combine it.

Now we're going to add three quarters of a cup of all purpose flour and a pinch of salt.

And that's it.

So again, just that smearing motion and we'll get these combined.

Okay, beautiful.

That looks great.

That looks fantastic.

Okay, so now what I'm going to do is transfer this to a piece of parchment paper, and I'll use my hands to form this into a rough six inch square shape at this point.

Great.

Now we've got a second sheet of parchment paper, and we're going to roll this out to thirteen by nine.

Okay, great.

So we're at thirteen by nine.

That looks great.

Okay, so I'm going to peel off the top piece of parchment now.

Make sure that comes right off.

Okay, so using a two inch biscuit cutter, we're going to cut twenty four circles.

We're going to leave them in here.

We're not going to try and take them out right now.

Okay, great, we have twenty four.

I'm going to put the parchment paper back on top, and then this whole setup is going to go into the freezer.

It's going to take about thirty minutes for them to firm up, but you can do this up to two days in advance.

Okay, so it's finally time for the pate a choux, which is arguably the star of the entire situation.

A hundred percent.

That's why we started this whole thing.

So, we're going to do a little bit of prep work.

First, we're going to prep our pan.

So, I have a little bit of spray here, and I'm just going to lightly coat it, and then lightly dust it with some all purpose flour.

All right, so our goal is a very thin layer of flour on here, but we start with more so that we can kind of shake it around.

We can get it into all of the crevices.

So this is way too much flour still, so I'm going to knock it out in this trash can over here.

Get just a fine amount on there.

So this is going to help, obviously, with sticking.

We don't want these to stick to the pan.

But it also offers a really easy way to mark our spots where we're going to pipe the pate a choux.

So we're going to do twenty four circles, and I'm using the two inch biscuit cutter that we used before.

It's really just going to give us a landing zone, and that's pretty much how far the dough will expand out, so you can tell if they're going to be touching.

Great.

This is all prepped out, so we're going to set this aside for a minute.

Let's start on the actual pate a choux.

So in this saucepan here, we have six tablespoons of water.

I have five tablespoons of butter that have been cut into half inch pieces.

We have two tablespoons of whole milk, one and a half teaspoons of granulated sugar, a quarter teaspoon of salt.

We're going to bring this to a boil over medium heat.

Great, we're at a rolling boil, so I'm going to shift this off the heat, and I'm going to add a half a cup of all purpose flour.

and stir that until it's combined.

Okay, so I'm going to shift it back onto the burner and we're going to go over low heat.

We're going to cook this for about three minutes.

I'm going to stir and kind of smear it around like this.

We're looking for it to take on an appearance of kind of wet sand and be really shiny.

And during that time, it's going to hit about one seventy five to a hundred and eighty degrees.

We've got that nice appearance of wet sand.

So I'm going to shut off the heat here.

All right, let's see where we are with the temperature.

Okay, beautiful.

We're at one seventy seven, so right in the sweet spot there.

Perfect.

We've hit our temp, and we're going to take this immediately to our food processor.

All right.

I'm following you.

So I'm going to start off with just this mixture in here and run it for about ten seconds in order to cool it down a bit before we add our eggs.

All right.

So while that's going, I'm going to whisk together our eggs.

I have two whole eggs plus an egg white.

Now, that egg white is going to add more water, which adds more lift to it, and we found that it got a nice crisp crust because of adding that to it.

All right.

Okay, that's great.

So we have our two eggs plus one extra white in here.

So now we're going to go in with our eggs.

So I'm just going to open up the feed tube here.

And while it's processing, stream in the eggs.

We'll go for about thirty seconds here and then we'll scrape it down.

Okay.

Sometimes the egg and that kind of mixture can sit on the bottom if the blades don't get too low.

Right.

So we're just going to make sure that's incorporated.

Awesome.

So we're going to go for about thirty seconds more.

It's going to get really nice and sticky and tacky.

Okay, beautiful.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take the blade out here, and then got my pastry bag here, and I'm using a half inch round tip.

And that's pinched off there, so it's not gonna come through.

And I bring it in and scrape it in there.

Nice.

The thing that I learned about piping that it really made a lot more sense to me was that you're never really squeezing this.

It's all about the twisting action at the top, and that will easily just push everything through to make you get it all out.

So we're just going to twist at the top.

It'll just fill in and pop that out.

When we get down there and get good pressure, you can see when it starts to come through.

Okay, so I'm going to go here, and we're going to do about one and a half inch mounds, and they're going to expand as they bake.

So right in the center of our two inches.

So we've got twenty four nicely piped out.

And don't worry about any kind of imperfections on top.

The craquelin's going to go right on top there and smooth over any problems.

So I'm going to grab those from the freezer.

Great.

Okay, so Bridget, these are the craquelin that we made earlier, froze.

They've been in there about thirty minutes.

They're nice and firm.

It's going to make it really easy to transfer over.

He's not lying.

And for that, I'm going to use a little offset spatula here.

And we'll just go underneath, pick it up, and we'll give each one a little hat.

Beautiful.

So it's time to bake.

We're going to go to a four hundred degree oven on the middle rack and bake for fifteen minutes.

Then without opening the door, we're going to drop it to three hundred and fifty, so a little bit more moderate.

We're going to go at that point until they turn really gorgeous golden brown, which takes about seven to ten minutes.

I think these are going to look really gorgeous.

Look at those.

Beautiful browning.

So we'll get them out.

The next step here is we want to dry these out on the inside and let the top really crisp.

So you pick them up and you want to do a three quarter inch slit in the side of each one of them.

And this slit will allow steam to escape.

All right, and last one.

So we've got slits in all of them.

We're gonna go back into the oven, which has been turned off.

We're gonna prop the door open with a wooden spoon.

So they're gonna be in a nice, warm, dry environment, but they're not gonna bake anymore.

That's gonna really encourage them to dry out.

Perfect, thank you.

So we're gonna let them sit for about forty five minutes.

Okay, so these are beautifully baked and ready to be filled, and we're gonna do that with our pastry cream, but we're gonna lighten it up with some whipped cream.

So I have a cup of cold, heavy cream here in a nice, big bowl.

I'm also whisking side to side.

So you can see we have nice stiff peaks, which is wonderful.

It's closer in texture to the pastry cream, so it'll combine really nicely.

Now we're going to come over to our pastry cream.

You can see how much this has set up.

We want to combine these two, and we're going to whisk this first.

So we're going to fold this into our whipped cream.

All right, so I am just gently folding this together.

You can see it's getting a lot lighter in color.

It's still plenty stiff because we cooked that pastry cream a long time and got it nice and thick.

Okay, that looks great.

Now the goal here is to fill these up with about two tablespoons of this lovely filling.

So really pack it in.

A quarter inch tip works great if you have that.

A Bismarck tip, which is nice and long at the end here.

This is fabulous for like jelly doughnuts and for filling things like this.

Makes a smaller hole and allows you to reach to the back.

And as you pull out, you can really fill it up.

So this is what I'm gonna go with.

We've got our Bismarck tip in there, and we're going to fill this with about a third of the mixture.

Perfect.

Okay.

So I'm going to go in where I made that slit.

And with the Bismarck, it's nice to go all the way to the backside.

And then as you're filling and you feel it getting heavier, you pull it out.

And that is a good indicator right there, when you start to see it at the opening, but before it's spilling out.

We'll put it on our platter right there.

Okay, so we're gonna keep going until all of our choux are filled.

This bag is gonna empty out, and we're gonna keep filling it up as we go.

Lovely.

Okay, here we are.

We have choux au craquelin.

And what I wanna know, is this gonna compete with all those other choux pastry desserts that you mentioned?

This is straight out of a beautiful pastry case.

This looks great.

They look beautiful, right?

Yeah.

All right, but you gotta try them.

Ooh.

Look how heavy they are.

So much pastry cream in there.

Nice.

Stick in.

All right.

Mmm.

No runny pastry cream at all.

That is so good.

Even though they're packed full of cream, they're nice and light.

It's like a beautiful balance of sweet and a little bit of a savory dough.

And I just love that craquelin.

Like, it obviously looks beautiful, but it's that sweetness and it's such a nice crunch.

In the world of choux pastry, this has climbed to the top.

Yes, that's what I was hoping for.

You're going to want to make these beautiful little pastries.

Cook a pastry cream until it's nice and thick.

Freeze the discs of cracklin dough.

Use a food processor to make the pate a choux.

And then fold whipped cream right into the pastry cream before filling.

From America's Test Kitchen, you are absolutely going to want to make this choux a cracklin.

I wonder if you could use this to make, I don't know, something like gnocchi.
