About Choux pastry
Choux pastry is a light, airy dough originating from French cuisine, commonly used in desserts like éclairs, cream puffs, and profiteroles. Made from simple ingredients—flour, water, butter, and eggs—it relies on steam for rising instead of baking powder or yeast. This technique creates its signature hollow center, perfect for fillings like whipped cream or custards. Though choux pastry is relatively low in sugar, its healthiness largely depends on preparation and fillings, which are often rich in sugar or fat. It's a good source of carbohydrates and contains moderate protein from the eggs, but its butter content contributes saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. Without added fillings or toppings, choux pastry can be a lighter option compared to some other baked goods, making it a versatile base for both indulgent treats and lighter recipes.
