choux pastries
Light hollow bakes
Choux pastries are light, hollow baked goods made from choux dough—a cooked paste of butter, water, flour, and eggs that puffs dramatically in the oven.
The airy shells are filled with cream, custard, or savory mixtures. Éclairs, profiteroles, and cream puffs are all choux pastries: The dessert table featured an array of choux pastries.
