Claire Saffitz includes this recipe for Pâte à Choux in the Foundation Recipes section of her Dessert Person cookbook because of its versatility. Today I'm making cream puffs, but you could use this same exact dough, but pipe logs & fill with pastry cream for eclairs, pipe dollops & fill (or sandwich) with whipped cream, ice cream, or pastry cream for cream puffs and profiteroles, mix it with cheese and herbs for savory gougères, or deep fry it for churros, French cruller donuts, choux beignetsalso. The possibilities for this versatile dough are endless! You may have also heard this dough referred to as Choux Pastry; given the broad uses for it, it's obviously as popular as it is light and delicate in taste and texture. The ingredients are simple! It contains only butter, water, flour, and eggs. Instead of a raising agent (like yeast, baking powder, or baking soda), it uses high moisture content to create steam during cooking to puff the pastry.

In this video, I top my cream puffs with a Craquelin (technically this recipe is Choux au Craquelin). Skip the cookie topper and you're got a traditional cream puff :-)
