I sometimes go a little nuts looking at recipes and trying to figure something out. Like you said, it's good to get an understanding behind why things are and how they work. And imperfection usually tastes pretty good. I'm glad I learned from my mistake here and they worked out with the 2nd attempt. It was worth it...otherwise, I would've been eating that chocolate pastry cream from a spoon! : ) Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07439320856223502707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6628445235517647413.post-6231527141966652972015-01-11T12:17:59.980-05:002015-01-11T12:17:59.980-05:00I understand...there are a few steps involved.

I loved choux pastry so much that I wasn't willing to give up and watched quite a bit of videos to understand the science behind this. I am still not perfect but you know what, somehow it tastes great even though it may not look that way initially.Sugar et al.http://www.sugaretal.com/noreply@blogger.com
