Profiteroles: A Delicious French Treat
If you love sweet treats, then profiteroles will surely satisfy your palate. These delightful pastries, also known as choux à la crème, originated in France and have become a popular dessert choice around the world. With their light and fluffy texture, profiteroles are the perfect treat for any celebration.
You'll need these ingredients to make these delicious treats:
- 1 cup of water
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups whipped cream
- Chocolate sauce for topping
To begin, preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring the water, salt, and butter to a boil in a saucepan. Once the butter melts, remove the pan and stir in the sifted flour until a smooth dough forms.
Add the eggs, one at a a time. Beat the dough well after each addition, until it is glossy. Transfer the dough in a piping-bag and pipe small mounds of dough onto the lined baking sheets. Bake for 20-25 mins, or until the profiteroles have a golden brown color and are puffy.
Once the profiteroles cool, cut them into half and fill with a generous amount of whipped-cream. Pour a final touch, drizzle the chocolate sauce.
Profiteroles make a delicious dessert that is suitable for both formal and casual occasions. These pastries will impress your guests, whether you're hosting dinner or just want something sweet.
