This is the last of the pastry school posts. The photo above shows the proper consistency of Pate a Choux (cabbage).
How to hold a pastry bag.
My piping skills. Lovely, eh?
This was so cool, and yet it terrified me. The instructor is showing us how to sprinkle sugar onto the pate a choux to make Chouquettes. She dumped a bunch of the sugar on the sheet pan closest to her, then lifted the tray perpendicular to the table, letting the pearl sugar fall over the dough.
I was afraid they would all slide off the sheet.
Gougeres- baked pate a choux. You can fill with savory or sweet fillings using a piping bag, or make profiteroles with these- add ice cream and chocolate sauce.
These are the baked Chouquettes, with the pearl sugar.
My take for the day- chouquettes, brownies, financiers and madeleines.
