Chocolate Chip Chouquettes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 egg yolk plus 1tbs water for egg wash
- mini chocolate chips
- pearl sugar
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan bring butter, water, salt and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat to low and add flour all at once. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth ball. Remove from heat and let cool for about two minutes. Add eggs one at time until the mixture is glossy and creamy in texture.
- Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a medium tip and pipe small rounds onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Brush gently with egg wash and top with chocolate chips and pearl sugar.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until chouquettes are golden brown and puffed.
- Hint: The puffs can be piped, frozen and stored in a freezer bag, ready for baking at your convenience.
