I’ve been making choux pastry, as a home cook, since my teen years and have never really had great results. I’m in my late 50’s now. I used this video this afternoon and just took them out of the oven. I divided everything by 8 and turned out 12 cream puff shells and 4 small eclair shells. I baked them at 375F for 10 minutes and reduced to 350F for 40 minutes (25 + 7 +4). They are perfect! The only thing I would change is the salt. Maybe with the reduced portions the ratio needs to be tweaked. I used 4g of salt but will use no more than 2g next time. Thank you Julien for sharing your knowledge and experience. Your explanations, especially about the importance of the moisture content, made all the difference to me. I just love watching all of your videos. I’m working my way through them. I hope that your business is doing okay during this strange time. I’d love to visit some day!
Recette pâte à choux, Choux pastry recipe 2 L water 30g salt 800 g butter cut in small cubes Put the wet ingredients to boil Add 1.6 Kg flour The mixture called the panade needs to dry out over the stove ( remove the humidity) Transfer the dried panade to a mixing ball Add 40 eggs ( 2 kg eggs ) , 2 at a time. With a paddle attachment, the batter needs to get silky smooth and shiny Pipe in the shapes you want ( éclaires or choux.....) on a slightly oily tray Bake at 190C ( 375 F) WITHOUT opening the oven until it gets some colour. Then release the humidity by putting a wooden spoon on the oven door.
Very helpful video for a beginner like me. Started watching the British Baking Show & became motivated to learn more about baking, how to bake, etc. TY
Thats all!!! Wow yes what a treasure, would love a little Julian in my kitchen! This is cooking at it's best, a real marriage of art and science. So different to watching Oliver or Ramsey throwing lettuce leaves around.
i wish you had a website with recipes with instructions for the items you make they are really awesome ive tried a few of them and they came out perfectly...
Thank you Julian, I enjoy watching you make all these lovely things and I've learned a lot from you so far. Have a wonderful day from Nova Scotia!! Even though you are a great Chef you have a unique "down to earth" way of cooking and baking.
Carolin Schäfer It is always same weight of liquid to whole egg ratio. 2000 ml water so 2000g eggs. But farm eggs cart from 50g to 55 or more so just add eggs until you reach the 2000g
Home quantity measurement 500 ml water 200 gr butter I found 3.5 gr salt is perfect for me, ** Julian use 7.5 gr salt** 400gr high protein flour I added 60 gr raw sugar to boiling mixture. Listen carefully to his instructions and voila Cooking method every oven is vary, size of choux also. For teaspoon size i do them at 190 for 15 mins then 150 for 15 min. Slightly open over door before taking choux out. Stick a couple of hole on top of hot choux to let steam out prevent deflation. Merci beaucoup chef Julian. Greets from down under.
my bad lol By the way, do you know what should be the home quantity mesaurement for Julien's cream patissiere filling if I want to make eclairs with this choux pastry recipe?
Marina I think it is called taking notes! You know, you find something interesting and you want to remember it, SO....You get a pen and a piece of paper and write it all down. You could even type it all in a Word doc, with photographs etc and save it in a file on your computer. Do you seriously want someone else to do it for you???
Your "trick" about leaving the oven door ajar to finish off the cooking to perfection made me subscribed! This was your third videos I watched and been enjoying it! You remind me of the chef I worked for when I did pastry training and his name is also Julien! :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge - much appreciated! Gros bisous de Toulouse! :)
in the Caribbean we call it puff pastry, after it bake you can cut them open and add chees,tuna, custard creme or any thing you want to make it taste nice
chef obian knobi but great video great dude this men im work in pastry kitchen and my inspirations is pastry stores france and viena austria great cakes
OH interesting, when I learned it at my local bakery, my teacher said I can't dry out my dough at the beginning. I did accidentally "overcook" it and made it a bit dry, and result was better than all the ones I made before. Now this is why....
I have shop near my home in Algeria made best eclairs I think was established from 1925 the shop was tubing my French U til now still using old style Patissrie
Hi ive made this pastry before from a British recipe book and it said when it forms a ball the flour and butter water mixture its ready, they turned out okay but next time I will dry it out more like you did.
Hi chef , I would like to know what the suitable temperature for home oven , and should I switch off oven and open door a little after it’s raising the pate choux ? Or only one time open and close the oven door when it’s open for 5 minutes? Best regards
Could you ask to the chef please why all my choux are down i mean deflated after i took out from the oven... problem the oven or the dough was to liquid ? Thank youu
Previous comments repeat the same question: Resizing the batch to suit their own needs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have a calculator, you simply need to understand the percentage of each ingredient to the whole. In my example, I have broken down all ingredients used in the video into GRAMS for consistency. I always weigh ingredients, I never measure (cups, tsp, Tbsp) ingredients. Grams are far more accurate than ounces. I use a digital scale, they're not expensive, or you can find conversion charts online. The batch size in the video = 6430grams total. 2000g water 2000g eggs 1600g flour 800g butter 30g salt The percentage of each ingredient is: 31% water 31% eggs 25% flour 12.5% butter 0.5% salt Let's say you only want to make a batch size = 2000grams total, then apply percentages: 620g water 620g eggs 500g flour 250g butter 10g salt

I could watch him work in the kitchen all day this guy is the MAN!
Real professional, unlike a lot of clowns that just do tv for shows
you have no idea how your technical explanation helped me in my choux. i was able to sell a lot because of this. Thank you so much
Joseph Ricardo Casas did you put the sugar? And what about the milk? You only boiled the water with no milk?
NejmaG1 definitely it needs both of what you said
And the eggs adding was fucked up in this video
@@NejmaG1 you can do it with or without milk
Yusuf Sanad how is it fucked up when you can clearly see the end result is as beautiful as we can expect from a choux pastry??
@@NejmaG1 What the hell are you talking about?
love how fast and precise he works, you can tell there's decades of experience in there
Yeah like tearing the end of the pastry bag with his teeth, very classy. He is disorganized, tidy up your kitchen, his English is terrible.
You are so much better than the TV chefs of 2021. Thank you.
I am so excited! Everything appears so easy, when Julien shows. Many thanks for the video!

michael bautista My Ecole Ritz Escoffier book says T55 flour. Not sure what the UK equivalent is.

Divided by 4 from original recipe

Thank you, the commentary on Why do like this or that is very helpful.
I'd love to read that in print form if it exists somewhere.
Marina I think it is called taking notes! You know, you find something interesting and you want to remember it, SO....You get a pen and a piece of paper and write it all down. You could even type it all in a Word doc, with photographs etc and save it in a file on your computer.
Do you seriously want someone else to do it for you???
I always thought you put sugar in as well ,it has been on others I have seen made.

Hi ive made this pastry before from a British recipe book and it said when it forms a ball the flour and butter water mixture its ready, they turned out okay but next time I will dry it out more like you did.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Rock on!
So you need to dry out the choux before putting the in the oven?
Hi chef , I would like to know what the suitable temperature for home oven , and should I switch off oven and open door a little after it’s raising the pate choux ? Or only one time open and close the oven door when it’s open for 5 minutes?
Best regards
Do you cool the flour mixtures before you add the egg
Could you ask to the chef please why all my choux are down i mean deflated after i took out from the oven... problem the oven or the dough was to liquid ? Thank youu

1600g flour
800g butter
30g salt
The percentage of each ingredient is:
31% water
31% eggs

12.5% butter
0.5% salt
Let's say you only want to make a batch size = 2000grams total, then apply percentages:
620g water
620g eggs
500g flour
250g butter
10g salt
