Choux

Choux is a French-origin plural noun referring to small, hollow pastry puffs made from choux pastry, typically filled with cream or custard. In English, it often appears in phrases like “eclairs and choux.” The word is borrowed from French, where it means “cabbages” but in pastry contexts it denotes the puff pastry used for profiteroles and similar confections. The term is usually used in culinary contexts and standardized in English spellings.
