When the mixture turned to dough and leaves the film to the bottom of the saucepan, it's done. Leave the dough to cool slightly. Mix dough occasionally to cool faster.
- Add samolin to the dough, corn starch and gradually add the eggs. When one egg is mixed add another one and so on. Choux dough has enough eggs when mixture becomes shiny and of appropriate density for piping.
