## 🥐 The Art of Choux Pastry
At the heart of any cream puff is the choux pastry. This versatile dough is the foundation for various pastries, including éclairs and gougères. The process involves cooking flour, butter, and water together before adding eggs to create a smooth, glossy batter. When baked, the high moisture content in the dough turns to steam, causing the pastry to puff up and form a hollow center perfect for filling.
### Ingredients for the Choux Pastry:
* 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
* 1 cup water
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 4 large eggs([tinsuf.com][3], [usfoodnetwork.com][4], [dailydelish.us][5], [recipe.makingourlifematter.com][6])
