Critical Success Points

  • Cooking the choux pastry until a thin film forms at the bottom.
  • Gradual incorporation of the eggs off the heat.
  • Formation of a firm and glossy meringue.
  • Delicate incorporation of the meringue into the dough to retain aeration.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot saucepan with care to avoid burns.
  • Use kitchen gloves when removing the dish from the oven.
  • Do not leave egg whites at room temperature for more than 2 hours to avoid any risk of salmonella.
