Gluten-free Choux Pastry Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 1 pinch salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. In a small saucepan, combine water, butter, and salt over medium heat until the butter is completely melted and the mixture comes to a boil.
3. Add the gluten-free flour blend all at once, and stir quickly until a smooth dough forms. Cook, stirring constantly, for about a minute to cook the flour and to dry out the dough a bit.
4. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing vigorously between each addition, until the dough is smooth, shiny, and holds its shape.
6. Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip and pipe onto a lined baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each pastry.
7. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and puffed up.
8. Remove from the oven and immediately prick each pastry with a toothpick to allow the steam to escape. Transfer to a wire rack to cool before filling with your desired filling and serving.

Verdict:

These gluten-free choux pastries are light, airy, and perfect for those who cannot consume gluten. They are a great base for sweet or savory fillings and can be served as a snack, dessert, or appetizer.

Serving Suggestions:

• Fill with whipped cream and fresh berries for a sweet treat.
• Fill with savory fillings such as chicken salad or crab dip for an easy appetizer.
• Top with chocolate ganache or caramel sauce for a decadent dessert.
