Potato Choux Pastry
A light, crisp, and slightly sweet pastry that is perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain flour All purpose
- 2 oz butter
- 1/4 pint water
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 medium eggs beaten
- 5 oz potatoes cooked and sieved
Instructions
- Pass the flour twice through a fine sieve.
- Melt the butter in the water over a low heat and when melted, bring to a fast boil.
- Remove from heat and, all at one time, add the flour and the salt, beating continuously until the mixture is smooth and leaves the sides of the pan to form a soft ball.
- Still beating, add the eggs a little at a time alternately with the sieved potato, (an electric hand mixer is excellent for this job).
- The finished pastry should be firm but soft.
