Choux pastry is made from a simple batter, and is usually piped onto a baking sheet in the shape of balls (puffs) or sticks. After baking, these airy pastries are filled with cream or ice cream and covered with icing or chocolate sauce for desserts such as religieuse cake, profiteroles, or Äclairs. Choux pastry may also be used in a preparation with another dough or cake.
