Questions? Technical Issues? The Survival Guide / Re: choux pastry pg 119 -failure

Thanks, for the advice,
I tried again with with  a little less water 1cup of water and 1 cup flour :(. still no good- and I kept cooking for 14 minutes, then the butter started to separate out.  I'm thinking maybe 100degrees is not hot enough, because I have had no trouble making choux  pastry on my cooktop.  Or it could be the flour was not "strong" enough - it is Anchor Lighthouse brand. I ended up adding a fair bit of cheese to the mixture and blobbing  it on a tray, it got eaten!

My daughter attempted the profiteroles and got a consistency similar to runny custard - and threw it away. I looked at the ratio of flour to water and compared it to other cookbooks. I think 250 water : 150 plain flour is out of proportion. Has anyone had success with the recipe from the everyday cookbook?  I am going to try it again using Donna Hay's recipe.

Thanks for the welcome :). I do not have Spanish roots,  but I do like saying Ola!  and I was looking for a lemon bar recipe and found a reference to Thermomix on Lobstersquad's blog. 

Regarding the Varooma, I  will start using it, I just am not confident to do it without a practical session. Looking forward to using it though, it is why I bought it - to save time.

Ola! I stumbled  on to "Thermomix" when I was googling a recipe for lemon bar and got to Ximena's blog.  My curiosity led me to more googling and  I found reviews on taste.com. following which I booked a demo and was convinced our family had to have one.
My husband and daughter have enjoyed using T angel, which we received a week ago, thankyou - Elisabeth! I am not quite sure about using the Varooma and will be getting another demo this week. I am so glad to be on annual leave, so I can "practice".
