When choosing a filling for choux pastry pies, many people rely solely on their taste.
This is a serious mistake, because all fillings should be chosen carefully.
Therefore, it is worth remembering several nuances that should be taken into account when choosing pies, says Yulia Arkhipova .
It is important to take seasonality into account
It is always necessary to take into account the season and availability of ingredients. If you want to make pies or choux pastry with fruit filling, choose seasonal fruits - they will always be fresh, juicy and more affordable.
Balance of taste
It is necessary that the filling for pies or choux pastry is well balanced in taste.
It is important to pay attention to the combination of sweet and sour, sweet and salty, to create an interesting and harmonious taste. Of course, here it is still worth experimenting and being rational.
Experiments with texture
To give your pies an interesting taste and texture, don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings.
You can use a combination of soft, juicy, crunchy or creamy ingredients to create a unique flavor.
In this case, it is worth following a simple rule: too liquid a consistency is unacceptable for adding to pies.
Temperature features matter
Also, when choosing, it is worth considering the temperature features. For example, some types of fillings are not suitable for long-term heat treatment. A simple example: adding fresh strawberries to pies definitely does not make sense.
