Ingredients You’ll Need
Gather up these tasty ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Chocolate sauce (to drizzle on top)
Instructions to Make Your Profiteroles
Now, let’s get down to business. Follow these steps to create your sweet treats:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a saucepan, bring the water and butter to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in the flour and salt until the mixture forms a ball.
- Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space in between because they will puff up.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Avoid opening the oven door while they bake!
- Let them cool on a wire rack before filling.
- While the puffs are cooling, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Once the profiteroles are cool, cut a small slit in the side of each puff and fill them with the whipped cream.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving, or dunk ‘em right in if you fancy! Enjoy every last bite!
There you have it! These homemade profiteroles are not just a treat; they’re a statement. Perfect for any occasion, or just because you deserve it. Happy baking, y’all!
