Frequently asked questions
What are the necessary ingredients to make chouquettes with the Thermomix ?
The main ingredients are flour, butter, sugar, eggs, salt, and pearl sugar for garnishing.
How can I achieve a light and well-risen choux pastry with the Thermomix ?
It is important to follow the recipe steps carefully by adding the ingredients gradually and mixing them for a sufficient amount of time in the Thermomix to obtain a homogeneous dough.
Should I use a whisk or a spatula when preparing my choux pastry with the Thermomix ?
It is recommended to use the spatula provided with your Thermomix. It will allow better control during mixing and prevent damaging the airy texture of the dough.
Should the dough be rested before baking ?
Yes, it is recommended to let your choux pastry rest for a few minutes after mixing it in the Thermomix. This will help develop its structure before baking.
How can I achieve the characteristic shape of chouquettes ?
You can use two spoons or a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle to form small round mounds on your baking sheet. Make sure to space the chouquettes well so that they can rise without touching each other.
How can I achieve a nice golden color on my chouquettes ?
Before putting your chouquettes in the oven, you can lightly brush them with beaten egg yolk. This will give them a beautiful golden color during baking.
At what temperature and for how long should I bake the chouquettes with the Thermomix ?
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F, gas mark 4) and bake the chouquettes for about 20 to 25 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Can I freeze the chouquettes before or after baking ?
You can freeze the chouquettes after baking by ensuring that they are individually wrapped in an airtight bag. To enjoy, simply reheat them for a few minutes in a preheated oven.
How can I keep my chouquettes fresh for a longer time ?
Chouquettes are best enjoyed on the same day, but if you want to extend their freshness, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. This will keep them moist and soft.
Can I garnish my chouquettes with something other than pearl sugar ?
Absolutely! You can use melted chocolate, chocolate pearls, pastry cream, or even fill them with flavored whipped cream to vary the flavors.
