In choux pastry, water serves a crucial role by creating steam during baking. As the pastry heats, the water evaporates and transforms into steam, which expands and causes the dough to puff up and form hollow shells. This steam also helps to develop the pastry's light and airy texture. Additionally, water aids in dissolving the other ingredients, ensuring a smooth and cohesive dough.
Beating choux paste is an important procedure to ensure a perfect pastry. After adding the flour to the water and butter, beating the paste by hand or electric mixer will blend the ingredients thoroughly so that you will have a smooth paste with no lumps of flour.
