Chouquettes: choux pastry with pearl sugar

Ingredients

• 120 ml water
• 50 g butter
• 1 pinch of salt
• 75 g flour
• 2 eggs
• sugar pearls

Materials

• piping bag
• parchment paper

Preparation

• In a saucepan, heat the water with the butter and salt. When the butter has melted, add the flour all at once. Mix until the dough pulls away from the sides.
• Remove from heat and add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir vigorously to achieve elasticity in the dough.
  
• Using a piping bag, form the choux to your desired size (preferably medium-small). Beat an egg and brush the choux with it.
• Sprinkle with sugar pearls.
  
• Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Be careful at the end of baking; do not remove them from the oven immediately to avoid deflating. Leave the oven door slightly ajar for 10 minutes before taking them out.
• Let cool completely, and there you have it! Chouquettes are ready to enjoy!
  

Observations

* You can enjoy them plain or fill them with your favorite fillings (chocolate cream, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, raspberry sorbet, peanut butter...)

* You can freeze the dough before baking. Just take it out 1 hour before baking and let it thaw in the refrigerator.
