How to Make Profiteroles To make the pastry: Boil water and butter together. Put in flour; stir until mixture leaves the sides of the pan. Beat in the eggs a little at a time. Pipe out small domes on a damp baking sheet. Bake at 200 degrees C for 20 minutes or until risen and golden in colour. After baking, pierce each profiterole to allow steam to escape. Return pastry to a low oven to dry out. For the filling: Melt chocolate with the cream and butter. Stir in yolks. Pipe into profiteroles along with the whipped cream. For the sauce: Prepare sugar syrup with water, sugar, cocoa and cream. Boil it for 5 minutes. Stir in chocolate and butter. Serve with the dessert.
