Made choux Pastry yesterday. It wasn’t as pretty as expected though I still counted it as succeed.
When I syringed the dough, somehow I switched my left and right grip position. Apparently it had effect on the shape.
I usually push with right grip while left grip holding the end for stabilizing when I am shaping. It is fine if I do that.
When I changed my grip, I experienced light difficulty when pushing while shaping the pastry dough. So, the result didn’t as pretty as expected. It was a little bit flat after baked because I couldn’t control the syringe well.
Thank goodness, it was not for fulfilling order. It was just for my family. Sometimes, I change a bit about how to make cake/cookies/pastry when I have no order to fulfill. It usually gives new lesson and experience. We change a bit, it may give result very different; can be better or not. I won’t do R&D when fulfilling order.
The lesson is: just hold the plastic you feel the most comfortable and controllable. I think, there’s no kind of rule here. Just practice different ways and find your best way of holding/grip the triangle syringe.
