    Choux? I made a Paris-Brest at the weekend and it didn’t go very well. Among several problems related to the hazelnut/almond praliné and the crème pat, my choux pastry didn’t properly rise. I put it down to the oven not being hot enough, and potentially too many nuts on the top of the dough in the oven too.

    Lesson learned – put the choux into a very hot oven to begin with. If you’re having second thoughts about it being too hot then it’s probably hot enough. Turn it down after 10 minutes or so.

    Attempt 2 worked, so I eventually had a Paris-Brest to serve.
