Analyzing cooking steps...
When making the choux pastry, it's crucial to cook the flour-butter mixture long enough to dry it out. A thin film should form on the bottom of the pan.
Allow the choux dough to cool for about 15 minutes before adding the eggs to prevent them from scrambling.
The final consistency of the choux pastry should be smooth, glossy, and fall from the spatula in a V-shape.
Do not open the oven door while baking, as the sudden temperature change can cause the éclairs to collapse.
