Step-by-Step Chouquettes

Chouquettes are sugar puffs made from a ‘pate a choux’, a dough made with eggs, flour, butter and water over a stovetop. Because this dough is a little tricky, and going even a little off the recipe can lead to a disaster – follow the recipe and instructions to the T, and you’ll end up with the tastiest chouquettes you could dream of.

Step-by-Step Chouquettes
Ingredients for Chouquettes:
Water - 1 3/4 cups
Unsalted butter - 1 stick
Sugar - 1 tsp
Salt - A pinch
Flour - 1 2/3 cups
Eggs - 4 large
Chocolate chips - 1 cup (optional)
Ingredients for syrup:
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Honey - 1 tbsp
Method of preparing the Chouquettes:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  2. In a medium-sized pot, boil the water with sugar, butter, and salt. When everything melts, remove from heat and add the flour. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a mixer and turn on to medium speed with the whisk or paddle attachment and let it run for a few minutes to allow air into the dough. 
  4. Add the eggs in one at a time, making sure that each egg is fully incorporated before adding another.
  5. Transfer into a piping bag and pipe onto the parchment in a circular motion. The circles should be 1-inch wide and 1-2 inches tall. Leave a distance of about 2-3 inches between each chouquette because they will rise and spread out in the oven. 
  6. Sprinkle chocolate chips or granulated sugar and bake for 10-15 minutes until they turn golden. Don't open the oven during baking.
Method of preparing the syrup:
  1. Place all the ingredients into a small pot over a medium-high heat. Cook until it reaches a boil.
  2. Cook for 4-5 minutes after it has reached a boil and then take off of the heat. 
  3. Brush on the chouquettes and serve.
