Production & Culinary Method
Liquid Scalding & Panada Cooking
Bring water, milk, butter, salt, and sugar to a rolling boil in a commercial steam kettle. Dump pre-mixed flours in at once. Beat vigorously with heavy wooden paddle for 3 minutes over heat until a smooth dough pulls from kettle sides and leaves a thin starch film.
Cooling & Egg Compounding
Transfer panada to spiral mixer with paddle. Run on speed 1 for 3 minutes until cooled to 45\u00b0C (113\u00b0F). Stream in eggs in 4 additions, mixing thoroughly between each until a glossy dough drops from paddle in a classic V-sheet.
Piping & Deck Oven Baking
Pipe 40g mounds (for cream puffs) or 12cm fingers (for eclairs) onto perforated silicone baking mats. Bake at 200\u00b0C (395\u00b0F) for 20 minutes without opening oven. Reduce to 175\u00b0C for 10 minutes to dry internal walls.
