Cool to room temperature. The custard needs to be at room temperature (not cold) for the later steps.
HOW TO MAKE PÂTE À CHOUX (CHOUX PASTRY)
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with the rack in the center. Grease the bottom and sides of two 9-inch springform pans with butter and line the bottoms with parchment paper circles.
Note: If you only have one springform pan you will need to bake one layer first and then prep the same pan again to bake the second layer afterwards.
Add water, butter, and salt to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the flour all at once.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and return the pan to the heat. Stirring constantly, continue to cook until the dough forms a ball and leaves a white residue on the bottom. The cook time will vary depending on the pan you use, heat of your stovetop, etc. Look for the visual queues rather than relying on the timing.
