Craquelin is a cookie dough that is rolled out and placed on top of choux pastry before baking, creating a crunchy crust.

How do you know when the choux pastry is ready?

The choux pastry should pull away from the sides of the pan and form a glossy dough that can hold its shape.

Can you freeze the crème diplomat?

Yes, you can freeze crème diplomat and defrost it at room temperature when needed.

Bake the choux pastry at 185°C in a non-fan assisted oven.

You typically need about 2 to 3 eggs for the choux pastry, depending on the consistency.
