Profiteroles

Hi everyone, I'm really back with loads of recipes. I want to forgive myself because I didn't keep my promise so much but this time I will post 1 recipe every Wednesday until, at least mid-April. Today we are going to make profiteroles.

Preparation time: 40 minutes Cooking time: 22 to 30 minutes

For approximately 60 profiteroles You will need a pastry bag

Ingredients:

For the choux pastry:

- 15cl of milk

- 10cl of water

- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar

- 100g butter

- 135g of flour

- 4 eggs

For the chocolate:

- 200g of chocolate

- 10cl of milk

For the topping:

- Vanilla ice cream

Preparation:

1. Start with the choux pastry: Pour the milk and water into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the salt, sugar and butter.

2. Bring to a boil, then add all the sifted flour at once while stirring vigorously with a wooden spatula until the dough becomes smooth.

3. Dry the dough over low heat, stirring constantly until it comes away from the pan.

4. Remove the pan from the heat, let it cool slightly, then add the first egg with a spatula.

5. Fold in the eggs, one by one, making sure they are perfectly combined before adding the next one and working the dough vigorously. Lift the dough from time to time: when it falls back in a ribbon, it's ready.

6. Preheat the oven to 210°C (th. 7). Put the dough in a pastry bag with a smooth tip and form as many walnut-sized balls of dough as you like on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. Bake for 7 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 170°C (th. 5-6) and cook for 15 minutes. To test the cooking, gently press a cabbage with your finger: it should not bend anymore. If not, cook for longer.

7. Prepare the melted chocolate: finely chop the chocolate. Melt it in a double boiler or in the microwave with the milk and keep it aside.

8. Cut the top off each cabbage. Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the bottom part of the cabbage and then put the top of the cabbage back on. Arrange the profiteroles in individual bowls. Drizzle with chocolate and enjoy!

Here's a picture of how it turned out:

I hope you enjoyed the recipe!
