Can you use wax paper as a pastry bag ?

Question

I'm making Churros, and I don't have a pastry bag. So, how can I use wax paper ? Or, can I use wax paper ?

Answer 1

NO too much flexing

use plastic bags zip lock best fold top OK

Answer 2

Use a plastic bad and cut a little hole on the corner..?

Answer 3

Yes you can use wax paper but you will have to use several layers of thickness.  Parchment paper works better.  

Truth is the plastic zipoc style bag with a hole cut in the corner is probably your best bet.

Another thing you can do is line a light weight kitchen towel with wax paper and then fold it up in a cone.  The kitchen towel will support the wax paper.  You will need to work quickly and may have to fashion a new cone every dozen or so.

This is from a previous YA Question:

• Things You’ll Need:

Parchment or wax paper

Sharp knife or scissors

Tape (optional)

Step 1

Decide how large the bag should be. Decorating a cake for a child's birthday would require one or more small bags. Piping a goat cheese and red pepper spread onto canapes would require a larger bag. Whatever the size, cut a square of parchment paper.

Step 2

Fold it in half so that you have a double layered triangle. Fold it again and crease the edge.

Step 3

Carefull roll the parchment paper. Holding the crease, line one side of the triangle up. Roll the other side of the triangle around the first.

Step 4

Fold the parchment paper down around the wide opening. Now would be the time to tape the outer side as well but with a little practice this is unnecessary.

Step 5

Fill your cone with your filling. Pinch the wide opening shut and fold it down as you would a bag lunch. Don't leave too much air in there.

Step 6

Cut the narrow tip off so that you have an opening in the size you desire. Hold the narrow tip as you would a pen or pencil. With your other hand, grasp the wide folded end. Squeeze the folded end with your hand, the filling should come out of the narrow end.
