Ingredients: ½ cup Water -
45 g (1 ½ oz) Unsalted Butter -
½ cup plain Flour -
2 Eggs -
1 Tablespoon Sugar -
1 pinch Salt |  | Directions: -
Pre-heat oven to 200°C (400°F). -
Prepare the choux pastry : in a medium saucepan, pour the water, salt and the cubed butter. Bring to the boil and let the butter melt. -
Remove from heat and add the flour and sugar all at once. Sharply stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is well blended ; the pastry must become a ball which does not stick to the bottom of the pan. Let it cold for just a few minutes. -
One after the other, add the 2 eggs in the paste, and beat vigorously to incorporate them ; finish turning for a while still with the wooden spoon. -
On a baking sheet, display balls of paste ; they must be the size of a walnut and you can easily do it using two teaspoons. Leave space between each for they will rise. -
Bake for 20 minutes, then turn the oven off, leave the oven door half-open and let the choux dry inside for another 15 minutes. -
With a pointed and sharp knife, split the choux in halves (horizontally). -
Stuff the choux with a small ball of ice cream or with Crème Patissière, strawberry and banana and sprinkle with powdered sugar (Instead of the sugar, you can put chocolate sauce on top of the choux).
