Profiteroles

Ingredients

• • 125ml water
• • 125ml milk
• • 100g butter
• • 1 tsp sugar
• • 1/4 tsp salt
• • 150g plain flour
• • 4 eggs
• • 300ml cream, whipped
• • 150g dark chocolate, chopped
• • 100ml cream, extra

Method

1. Heat oven to 200°C and line a baking tray.
2. Heat the water, milk, butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan until the butter melts and it comes to a boil.
3. Remove from heat and tip in the flour all at once, beating vigorously until a smooth dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
4. Cool for 5 minutes, then beat in the eggs one at a time until glossy and smooth.
5. Pipe or spoon small mounds onto the tray and bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed, golden and firm. Cool completely, then split and fill with whipped cream.
6. Melt the chocolate with the extra cream to make a glossy sauce, and drizzle generously over the filled profiteroles.
