Let’s Bake!
The February Gluten Free Baking Challenge Recipe is ….
Gluten Free Choux Pastry
Some of you may have already guessed this month’s challenge recipe when I shared the Choux Pastry recipe yesterday, you smart cookies, you. I had also been teasing some recipes I’ve made with it in my Instagram stories.
Choux Pastry recipes will be coming your way all throughout the month of February. I can’t wait to see which gluten free pastry you’ll make and share!
Tips for Making Gluten Free Choux Pastry
- Don’t worry if the butter starts to separate from the dough. Once you start beating it in the mixer, it will re-incorporate.
- Make sure the sugar and salt are dissolved fully before allowing the water to come to a boil.
- Use kitchen shears to help separate the dough from the pastry tip.
- If your pastries start to deflate after removing them from the oven, bake them a little longer.
- After baking, you can leave them in the oven for an additional 30 minutes to an hour to completely dry them out, just make sure the oven is off.
- I have only made these with my Nightshade Free Flour Blend and haven’t experimented with other flours. If you use a different flour, baking times and results may vary.
What is Choux Pastry?
Choux Pastry, or also lovingly referred to as “Choux Buns” are light and airy. They can be incorporated into sweet or savory dishes.
You’ve likely seen them used in profiteroles, éclairs, and cream puffs.
