Not really. Pate a choux is one of the simplest pastry doughs going.
Here is the method from a French recipe for pate a choux:

In a pot, place the water, salt and butter; bring to a boil.
Off the heat, add the flour all at once and stir quickly with a wooden
spoon.
When the paste is smooth, lower the heat and cook with stirring for two
minutes.
Off the fire add the eggs one by one and mix.
Let the paste cool before using.

We don't use a mixer but the basic method is the same.
