Choux Pastry with Cannabutter

If you’re a fan of trending cooking shows like Zumbo’s Just Desserts, you’ll love making Choux Pastry with Cannabutter.

I always admire these pastry Chef’s and their incredible talents – not to mention, I wish I could jump through the screen and sample their baked goods!

For TV shows like Zumbo’s Just Desserts, Master Chef, and Sugar Rush I always notice that they are making Choux Pastry with delicious fillings.

But one thing they’re missing? Cannabutter!

I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t go over too well on Netflix as these shows are geared toward famillies, BUT if there ever was a “Getting Baked” TV Show, I would hope that my recipes were included.


I decided to play around in the kitchen with the ever changing rules around the pandemic and just get good at something – or at the very least, try something fun and new.

Choux pastry looks so fancy and complicated – but with a big deep breath and the right ingredients, I was able to create something fabulous – and you can too!


What Ingredients Do I Need for Choux Pastry?

Choux actually means cabbage – and it’s because these little pastries resemble cabbages, but rest assured – they don’t taste a thing like the vegetable’s namesake.

There Are Two Rules

  1. Stick to the exact ingredients and measurements.
  2. Do not, DO NOT open the oven while they’re baking!

Cost: 20 +/-

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • handheld or stand mixer
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Parchment Paper
  • Pastry Brush
  • piping bag & piping tip

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted cannabutter cut into 8 pieces
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs beaten

Instructions

  • Combine the cannabutter, water, milk, salt, and granulated sugar together in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the butter has melted. Bring mixture to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce heat to low and add the flour all at once. Stir until the flour is completely incorporated and a thick dough clumps into a ball. Mash the dough ball against the bottom and sides of the pan for 1 minute, which gently cooks the flour. Remove from heat and transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or, if using a handheld mixer, a large mixing bowl. Allow to cool down for a few minutes before adding the eggs in the next step.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, slowly add the eggs in 3-4 separate additions mixing for 30 seconds between each. The mixture will look curdled at first, but will begin to come together as the mixer runs. Pour in the final addition of beaten eggs very slowly. Stop adding when the choux pastry has reached the desired texture: shiny, thick, and smooth with a pipeable consistency.

CREAM PUFFS

  • For cream puff and profiterole shells: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly brush the parchment with water, which creates a humid environment for the pastry shells allowing them to puff up without drying out or burning.
  • Pipe 2-inch mounds about 3 inches apart. Watch the video in the blog post above for a visual. You can also use a zipped-top bag and cut off the corner for easy piping. Using a water moistened finger, smooth down the peaks and lightly brush each with egg wash.
  • Bake for 20 minutes then, keeping the pastries in the oven, reduce oven to 350°F (177°C) and continue to bake for 10-15 more minutes until golden brown. Do not open the oven as the pastries cook, as cool air will prevent them from properly puffing up. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before filling.
  • Split open pastries and fill with cannabis lemon cream, your fav jam, a combination of these, or your favorite filling. You can also poke a hole in the pastries and pipe the filling inside.
