Caramel-covered choux 2/10

Caramel-covered choux

Caramel choux are generally used for wedding cakes, as the base of the French pastry called St. Honoré or simply coated with caramel. To make caramel-coated choux, prepare the buns with your traditional choux or puff pastry crust. Cook them for 20 to 30 minutes at 350° F. For the caramel, heat 3/4 cup sugar with 1 stick of salted butter. Keep a close eye on the mixture while cooking. When the caramel is nice and brown in color, remove from heat and add 1/2 cup cream. Mix well. Coat the choux with the finished caramel, and enjoy!
