lined with parchment. Preheat the often to 450 degrees. Pipe the pâte a choux through a 5/8-inch tip making a circle just inside the perimeter of the pastry round. Along the sides of the pan on the parchment, pipe 16 small cream puffs. Bake for 10 minutes, then lower the oven to 400 degrees and bake for 15 minutes more keeping the oven door a jar with a wooden spoon. Remove the cream puffs at the 15 minute mark and dry in a warm oven. Bake the ring until browned and dry. While the dough is baking make the Chibost cream by making the pastry cream and keeping it warm. Make the meringue, beating all but 3/4 cup of the pastry cream into it while it is still hot. Mix only enough to blend, and transfer it to a cool clean bowl or pastry bag immediately to blend, transfer it to a cool clean bowl or pastry bag immediately so that it cools off. If it stays hot too long the cream will curdle. Place the reserved 3/4 of a cup of plain pastry cream in a pastry bag equipped with 1/8" tip and pipe into the cream puffs through their bottoms. Prepare a light caramel with sugar and the water and dip the top of the puffs in the caramel. Place them caramel side down on a buttered baking sheet to cool, which will take only a few minutes. Now attach them at regular intervals around the ring. Glue each one in place with a drop of caramel. Pipe the Chibost cream into the center of the ring using a St. Honore tip. Refrigerate, but serve that day.

P창te a Choux INGREDIENTS 1 cup 4 ounces Pinch 1 cup 4-5

water unsalted butter salt flour eggs Eggwash

PREPARATION 1. 2. 3. 4.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine the water, butter and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over moderately high heat. As soon as the water boils add the flour. Over heat immediately start beating the mixture with a wooden spoon. While stirring cook until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and a thin film begins to form on the bottom of the pan. 5. Turn the dough into a clean bowl. Stir for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly. 6. Add 4 of the eggs to the dough one at a time. Beat each one vigorously into the dough before you add the next. When each egg is added the dough will split. Then it will come back together as you beat. This means you can add the next egg. When the last egg is incorporated, the dough will be smooth and the texture of the stiffly beaten cream. 7. After the fourth egg is evenly incorporated then determine the moisture content of the paste. If paste is limp and sticky and adding another egg will make it runny then stop. If paste is stiff and slightly sticky then add the final egg and stir until fully incorporated. 8. Place the dough in a pastry bag and pipe onto a sheet pan lined with parchment. 9. Brush the surface of the pastries lightly with egg wash. 10. Bake in an oven down which has been preheated to 425 degrees. Bake until the pastry is fully puffed and firm on all of its sides about 10-15 minutes. 11. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees and continue to bake until the choux is uniformly brown and crisp and center of puff dough is cooked. 12. Optional: Remove the pan from the oven. Reduce the heat to 200 degrees. Poke a small hole in the underside of each pastry and place on the sheet pan, hole-side up. Return the pastry to the oven and continue to bake until they are completely dry inside.

HOLDING PROCEDURE Store in an airtight container. If the choux should become soft, crisp in a low oven before filling.

Scald the milk with half of the sugar in a heavy saucepan. Whisk cornstarch, half the sugar, and salt in a bowl to remove lumps. Gradually add the eggs and whisk till smooth. NO LUMPS Slowly pour one third of the scalded milk into the egg mixture (laison) in a slow steady stream as you whisk. Pour the warm egg mixture back into the remaining milk and over moderate heat bring the mixture just to a boil while you stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Once the cream boils then continue to cook while constantly stirring for 1 ½ to 2 minutes to remove the starch taste. Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla and butter. Pour onto plastic wrapped sheet tray and then cover the pastry cream with plastic to prevent a skin from forming, or pour into an ice bain marie and stir constantly to prevent skin from forming. After cooling tightly cover and refrigerate.

Note: Do not use a stainless steel whisk if you are using an aluminum pot. It will turn the pastry cream green from aluminum pot and wire whisk. Do not cook over too high a heat. The pastry cream must come to a boil gradually or it will curdle.

HOLDING PROCEDURE Hold in a closed container under refrigeration. To prevent a skin from forming on top of the pastry cream lay some plastic wrap right against its surface.

Preparation: 1. Combine all of the ingredients in a clean saucepot. Add peeled, cored pears. (The pears must be submerged. Multiply the poaching liquid, if needed, to poach larger amounts of fruit.) 2. Place the saucepan on the stovetop and bring the liquid to a slow boil. Allow the mixture to boil for 2 minutes. Remove the pot from the flame and immediately wrap the pot three times with plastic wrap. The pot must be totally sealed in order to trap in the steam. 3. Place the pot to the side and allow to cool at room temperature. This must be a slow process in order to allow the pears sufficient time to “cook”. 4. When the pot is cold, remove the plastic wrap and remove the pears.
