Wikipedia: Choux oastry
Choux pastry, or pâte à choux (French: [pɑt a ʃu]), is a light pastry dough used to make profiteroles, croquembouches, éclairs, French crullers, beignets, St. Honoré cake, quenelles, Parisian gnocchi, dumplings, gougères, chouquettes, craquelins and churros. It contains only butter, water, flour and eggs. Instead of a raising agent, it employs high moisture content to create steam during cooking to puff the pastry.

Accidentally dropped a Chocolate Eclair on my left Sandal today and my wife laughed.
I bet she wouldn’t be laughing if the Choux was on the other foot though.
