Chouquettes

Ingredients

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup whole milk

1/4 cup granulated sugar

pinch  salt

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup all-purpose flour 135 grams

4 eggs

1/4 cup pearl sugar

Method of Preparation

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Heat water, milk, sugar, salt and butter in a saucepan until boiling. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously, until dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat.

Let dough cool for 3 minutes then whisk in eggs, one at a time, until shiny and smooth.

Scoop a heaping teaspoon of dough (walnut-size) out and, with a second spoon scrape onto prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing the dough mounds evenly apart, giving them a little room to spread. (Or pipe dough onto baking sheet with a 1/2-inch round tip.)
