How to Cook Profiteroles in Caramel
- Put the water and butter in a pan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and add the flour and a pinch of salt, then beat until the paste is smooth and forms a ball. Allow to cool slightly. Gently beat the eggs then gradually add then to the pan, beating all the while, to form a smooth, shiny paste.
- Spoon this mix into a piping bag fitted with a 1" (2.5cm) plain nozzle and pipe small mounds of the mixture onto greased baking sheets. Bake in a preheated moderately hot oven (Mk 6 - 400ºF - 200ºC) for 15-20 minutes until risen and golden.
- Transfer to a wire cooling rack, allow to cool, then split each one and fill with the double cream (heavy cream), lightly whipped.
- Heat the sugar in a pan over a low heat until dissolved. Increase the heat and cook to a golden brown caramel. Remove from the heat and carefully add the water. Return to the heat and stir until the caramel dissolves. Cool and then whip into the cream.
- Arrange the profiteroles on a dish and spoon over the sauce. Serve chilled.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Make sure the profiteroles are cool before splitting them and filling with cream, otherwise the cream will melt and turn runny.
