Pâte à choux, or choux paste, is a delicate dough used in many types of pastry, and we’ll try out a few. On the menu: Savory baked gougères, cheesy little puffs flavored with Wisconsin-made gruyère. Delicious fried crab puffs, golden brown and crispy, and great for parties. French-style beignets, covered in powdered sugar when they’re still hot from the oil. Last but not least, we will all have a turn at that Wisconsin State Fair staple and fill our own cream puffs.

Demonstration.

Recipes contain: milk, eggs, shellfish, wheat.
