Paul Foster serves up a stunning choux bun recipe, filled with a rich chocolate custard and drizzled with lime syrup for a little zing. Making choux pastry may seem intimidating to some, but finishing the dough in the Vitamix takes out all of the guesswork, ensuring the eggs are perfectly incorporated throughout the mixture.
To begin, make the choux. Gently heat the milk, water, butter, salt and sugar in a saucepan until melted together, then add the flour. Beat the mixture over a moderate heat until it's smooth and comes away from the sides of the pan when mixed.
Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C/gas mark 3, cook for a further 5 minutes then remove form the oven and allow to cool To serve, cut a small hole in each choux bun and fill with the chocolate custard. Drizzle the lime syrup over the buns, transfer to a plate and grate over a little extra lime zest.
