Chouquettes

In France, Kids are crazy about chouquettes! They love eat them for the breakfast, but also for a middle afternoon snack!

Choux pastry 

For about 20 choux or 8 éclairs

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp (5cl) milk 
• 4 Tbsp (7cl) water
• a pinch of salt
• 2 tsp sugar (5 g)
• ¼ C (45g) butter
• 2/3 C (75g) flour
• 2 eggs
• Pearl sugar

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Melt milk, water, salt, sugar and butter in a saucepan.
3. When the mixture begins to boil, stop the heat and add the flour out of the fire. Mix well to obtain a smooth dough. Put again on low heat 1 or 2 minutes to slowly dry the dough.
4. Out of the fire, add the eggs, one by one, while mixing well: you will obtain a smooth dough.
5. Fill a pastry bag with this dough.
6. On a pan covered with parchment paper, form small petits choux, 2 or 3 cm in diameter.
7. Spread a handle of pearl sugar on the top of each choux.
8. Bake for 30 minutes without opening the oven door while cooking. 
9. Let cool.

Et voilà!
