The task of profiteroles

FOR my mum’s birthday I attempted to make profiteroles as she loves cream! I found them pretty tricky to make and although they didn’t look great at the end, and I burnt the bottoms- they tasted good and went down well.


The recipe is by James Martin and you will find it here:

I followed it besides I didn’t put orange zest in as that is not in the cook book’s recipe. I also spread the chocolate on the top of each as I think this works better.

I would say 25-30 minutes is a bit too long to cook- keep a really good eye on them or they will burn. I cut the bottoms off. Also I didn’t use a piping bag, which would have helped a lot. Good luck.
