Preparation

Cooking choux pastry:
Bring water, milk, sugar, salt, and butter to a boil in a pot. Then add KOMEKO KUCHENGLÜCK all at once and stir vigorously until a dough ball forms and a white coating appears on the bottom of the pot (roasting).
Let the dough cool:
Transfer the dough to a bowl and let it cool to below 40 °C.
Incorporate eggs:
Gradually stir in the eggs at low speed until the batter is smooth.
Shaping & Baking:
Fill the choux pastry into a piping bag and pipe the desired shapes (e.g., cream puffs, rings, or éclairs) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for 20–30 minutes.
Fill & Serve:
After cooling, fill with whipped cream, custard, fruit or chocolate mousse.
Serve & Enjoy:Bon appetit!

Our tip:Do not open the oven door during baking.
