  • 4 eggs
  • 130 g flour 00 ~ 1 cup
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  1. Pour the water into a saucepan.
  2. Add the butter, sugar, and salt and bring to a boil.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and add the flour, stirring continuously avoiding lumps.
  4. Place the pot back on low heat and stir vigorously slamming the mixture with a wooden spoon, until the dough combines and begins to come away from the sides of the pot (you will see a white film on the walls of the pot).
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200° C)
  6. Add the eggs one by one to the cool mixture and mix well before adding the additional eggs, one at a time.
  7. Spoon the dough into a "sac a poche" (pastry bag) and pipe the desired shape onto the baking sheet.
  8. Then with a damp finger, flatten the apex.
  9. Bake until the choux pastry shells puff up and are golden brown on top (35-40 minutes).

Notes

A light bigne depends on the quantities of butter and flour. If the butter is more, the bigne` will be crumbly and empty inside; if the flour exceeds the bigne will be particularly flexible, creating cracks on the surface.

ENJOY!
