There is something magical about pastry; the way flour can be transformed by simply adding to it varying amounts of the most basic of ingredients – butter (or some other type of shortening), egg, water and only sometimes sugar. Choux pastry is probably the easiest and simplest of all pastries to make and yet it is one of the most feared. 

You will soon master pastry-making and will be surprised just how easy it is to turn out professional-looking puffs and pastries in no time at all.
