Last night, we headed over to our friends place to play mahjong. It’s been years since I’ve seen a mahjong tile and I wasn’t sure how I would do. I considered making some snacks to take along with us but the day turned out to be busy, and I never had a chance to make anything.

I wanted to experiment with choux pastry and make either cream puffs or gougeres. After reading Dorie Greenspan’s recipe, it became clear that I could make part of a batch and freeze the rest for future baking. Although I’m a day late with the batch I made tonight, I have some stashed in the freezer for our next mahjong game.
