Wonderful recipe..How many choux can I make with a 5cm silicon mould?

[@pichayabuakhaow4731]

Is it cake, AP (T55), or bread flour you use for this recipe as a wheat flour? Thanks further ;)

[@kareoziofficial9923]

You can use all purpose flour it works!

[@nizasegal330]

Thank you for the good recipe 🙏

[@Ciikko]

I never think of freezing the pastry dough inside a mold to have an exact shape and size, you are a genius!!!!! I always struggle about it. Thank you so much sir

[@eagybwi6752]

Hello, you'r good at cooking

[@mk4u123]

Looks good! What is this stand mixer you are using?

[@ArlaProAsia]

The standmixer is a danish produced Björn Varimixer

[@099buzeta]

Whether the dough goes frozen in the oven or thaws before baking? 🤷‍♂️😅

[@fatimaalmuhairi2305]

Thank you Chef for the amazing tutorial. I thought you can't freeze the choux dough! How long can I store the choux in freezer without compromising it?

[@Amirmozaffary]

I’ve tried for 2 months or so.

[@zalifahhamid5680]

butter using unsalted or salted?

[@fatinnurlyana4688]

hi may i know your cutter circle size?

[@siripatpanjad2696]

I had tried the recipe with my kitchen crew, the cream was great, compote was good but the choux was nothing like expected so we assumed there must be a little bit of this and that that hadn’t stated in the recipe. If there’s anybody tried the recipe and success please let me know.

[@unbeastable957]

When you put the round cutter cookiedough on top of the choux, was the choux frozen?

[@cindyolivia8499]

i have the same question here 👀

[@handymom7675]

Everything was frozen

[@aliahizzah]

Hi, can I know what the circle size of the silicon mold?

[@ArlaProAsia]

Hi there, Silicon mold diameter 5cm

[@floupitafloupita4384]

Hello from Greece! If i want to make them chocolate choux craquelin how much cocoa powder must i put? Thank youu!!!

[@K3NNY16]

I would say between 20 and 50g

[@peek-ka-boom6017]

What brand of blender are you using?

[@publicpost3166]

Thermomix

[@pedersen4567]

can i make the buns one day ahead? just fill it the same day

[@K3NNY16]

I tried that and it works but depends on the climate were you living or the temperature of your fridge

[@roxdox03]

So, no ventilation in the oven?

[@ArlaProAsia]

For craquelin layer, bake without using hot air.

[@bojmenyek]

So how many eggs? 5 or 6?

[@FashionGirl1231]

Depends on the consistency of your choux, you may need to use less or more eggs than the recipe calls for.
