Has anyone got a tried and tested recipe for choux? I've tried about 6 from my various recipe books and my profiteroles always seem to be soggy in the midde rather than a crisp hollow puff. Thanks

You have to slit them to let the steam out otherwise they will go soggy.

once you have slit them you can put them back in the oven for a couple of minutes so they completely dry out.

If you over work choux pastry though the fat will seperate and it will be soggy anyway.
