Baking Class #7

Today I've learned 2 traditional french pastry: Cream puffs and Éclair" (It means 'flash' in English). Choux paste is different from other types of pastry because when cooked, it rises and the finished product has a hollow center, so it can be filled with sweet or savory fillings. The choux paste is pretty easy and fast to make, it only needs 4 ingredients: water, fat, flour and egg. However, just like other desserts, the technique and steps are the key to success, therefore I think that's why many people still need to go to baking class to learn from the chef.
