Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the butter and salt until the butter has melted; remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the flour until no dry lumps remain; stir in the eggs, one at a time, adding the next egg only after the last one has been completely incorporated into the mixture. Drop the profiterole paste onto the prepared baking sheet in evenly spaced dollops.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pastries have puffed up and turned golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and cool on a wire rack to room temperature.
- Beat 1 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks; stir in the confectioners' sugar and rosewater until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the remaining cup of heavy cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate until melted and smooth.
- To assemble, poke a hole into the bottom of each pastry and fill with the rose water cream. Place the filled profiteroles onto individual serving plates and top with the warm sauce. Leftover profiteroles may be stored sealed in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days.

Recipe video above. Crispy light-as-air pastry balls filled with custard or cream and topped with chocolate. There are few things in life as delightful as biting into one of these! Terrific lighter / finger food option for dessert. Bonus: people are always impressed when you bring these to gatherings - but they're pretty straightforward!

Steps:
- Simmer butter & water: Place butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When mostly melted, add water then bring to a rapid simmer.
- Add flour: While liquid is simmering, add flour and pinch of salt, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon (still on stove) until the dough forms sort of a ball and pulls away from the sides of the saucepan (see video). About 1 minute.
- Cool: Remove from heat and let mixture cool for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 220°C/420°F (200°C fan).
- Prepare trays: Lightly grease 2 large or 3 standard baking trays with butter, then line with paper. (Grease stops paper sliding)
- Add egg into cool dough: Add 1 egg into batter, beat until combined. Add remaining eggs one at a time making sure each is combined before adding the next. Dough should be like a thick paste (see video).
- Transfer to piping bag: Place dough into a piping bag fitted with a 13 - 15mm round tip (1/2 - 3/5").
- Pipe blobs: Pipe 2 tsp blobs 5cm/2" apart (I do 16 on each tray). Makes 40 - 50 blobs.
- Pat down peak: Wet your finger with water and pat down any peaks to form domes (for nice round balls).
- Bake 2 trays at a time for 15 minutes, switching the trays halfway.
- Remove from oven, reduce heat to 180°C/35°0F (160°C fan). They should be crispy enough that when pierced, they will not collapse - if not, return to oven for 3 minutes.
- Pierce balls with knife then return to oven for 5 - 7 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Cool & fill: Transfer to rack, cool fully before filling with custard, cream or split then fill with ice cream. Drizzle with chocolate and serve!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Heat the milk, butter, and salt over medium heat until scalded. When the butter is melted, add the flour all at once and beat it with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together and forms a dough. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat for 2 minutes. The flour will begin to coat the bottom of the pan. Dump the hot mixture into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the eggs and pulse until the eggs are incorporated into the dough and the mixture is thick.
- Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round tip. Pipe in mounds 1 1/2 inches wide and 1-inch high onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You should have about 18 puffs. With a wet finger, lightly press down the swirl at the top of each puff. (You can also use 2 spoons to scoop out the mixture and shape the puffs with damp fingers.) Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned, then turn off the oven and allow them to sit for another 10 minutes, until they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Make a small slit in the side of each puff to allow the steam to escape. Set aside to cool.
- For the chocolate sauce, place the cream and chocolate chips in a bowl set over simmering water and stir just until the chocolate melts. Add the honey and coffee and stir until smooth. Set aside.
- For serving, cut each profiterole in half crosswise, fill with a small scoop of ice cream, replace the top, and drizzle with slightly warm chocolate sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a pastry bag with a 1/2-inch tip (optional).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Place the water and butter in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the flour mixture and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon for several seconds, until the dough is smooth, pulls away from the sides of the pan, and begins to form a ball. Remove the pan from the heat. Cool the dough for a couple of minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, until smooth and glossy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Place the dough in the pastry bag. (Alternatively, you can use a spoon to form the puffs.) Grease 2 rimmed baking sheets or line with baking parchment. Pipe the desired shapes onto the baking sheets. The dough can be frozen at this point on the tray then collected into freezer bags and sealed.
- For small (1 1/2-inch) puffs, bake for 10 to 12 minutes. For a standard eclair shape, bake for 10 minutes then raise the heat to 425 degrees and continue baking for 15 minutes total, or until puffed up, golden brown, and firm to the touch. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. In 2 1/2-quart saucepan, heat water and 1/2 cup butter to rolling boil. Stir in flour. Reduce heat to low; stir vigorously over low heat about 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat.
- Beat in eggs, all at once, with spoon. Continue beating until smooth. Drop dough by level tablespoonfuls about 1 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets to make 36 profiteroles.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool away from draft, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix granulated sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in half-and-half. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Gradually stir at least half of the hot mixture into egg yolks, then stir back into hot mixture in saucepan. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter and the vanilla.
- Pour filling into bowl. Press plastic wrap on filling to prevent a tough layer from forming on top. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until cool.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. To make the profiteroles, put the butter and 2 tsp of the caster sugar in a saucepan with 150ml water. Place the pan over a low heat until the butter and sugar have melted, then bring to the boil. Take off the heat, add the flour all at once and beat energetically with a wooden spoon until the dough comes away from the sides of the pan.
- Leave to cool for 5 mins, then beat in the eggs bit by bit until you have a stiff, glossy mixture (this process is much easier in a food processor). Rinse two baking trays with cold water, shaking off any excess so they are slightly damp (this helps the pastry to rise). Using 2 teaspoons, spoon blobs of the mixture onto the baking trays. Then place in the oven and cook for about 18-20 mins until well risen and brown. Remove the profiteroles from the oven and cut a small slit in the base of each one so they don't collapse. Cool on a wire rack.
- When they're cold, whip the cream lightly until just holding its shape. Sweeten to taste with remaining sugar and a few drops of vanilla extract. Cut the profiteroles in half, fill them with the sweetened cream and pile them up on a plate. You can refrigerate them for 1-2 hrs at this point but not for any longer as the pastry will go soggy.
- To make the sauce, sift the cocoa powder into a bowl. Put the sugar in a pan with 100ml water and warm over a low heat until dissolved. Bring to the boil, cook for 1 min, then pour over the cocoa powder and stir well until smooth. Return the sauce to the pan, cook for 1 min then set aside for 15 mins before drizzling over the profiteroles.

EUROPEAN PROFITEROLES
The European version of Chocolate Éclairs. I believe this is actually French but it seems to be a big hit in Great Britain. I wrote it down from a TV cookery show. These are miniature cream puffs filled with cream and covered in chocolate. They are absolutely lovely. In parts of Great Britain they stack them in a pyramid shape and drip the chocolate over the top. You could do this in individual dessert cups as well. Hubby will always pick this as his dessert when we go to a restaurant and he now loves it a home! TIP: Make sure the chocolate that you use suits your taste, i.e., milk chocolate compared to dark chocolate. It will make all the difference as to how this turns out for you. A custard type cream would be delicious as well! :)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400F degrees.
- To make the pastry, place the butter, water and sugar into a large saucepan.
- Mix together the flour and salt; set aside.
- Melt the butter over a low heat; increase the heat and all at once add the flour and salt; Remove from the heat and quickly beat the mixture until a smooth paste is formed, stirring continuously to dry out the paste.
- Once the paste comes away from the side of the pan, put it into a large bowl and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, a little at a time, mixing briskly until the paste is smooth and shiny; continue adding the egg until the mixture is a soft dropping consistency. You don't always have to use all the egg. The mixture will be shiny and smooth and will fall from a spoon if it is given a sharp jerk.
- Lightly oil a large baking tray. Dip a teaspoonful into some warm water and spoon out a teaspoon of the profiterole mixture. Dip your finger into warm water and rub the top of the mixture then spoon on to the baking tray. This gives it a more a crisper topping.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown, if too lightly colored they will become soggy when cool.
- Remove from the oven and poke a hole the bottom of each profiterole. Place onto the baking tray with the hole facing upwards and put back into the oven for 5 minutes to dry the inside of the profiteroles.
- To make the filling: lightly whip the cream and icing sugar until soft peaks form. Make sure you do not over whip!
- When the profiteroles are cold, using a decorator bag (or a freezer bag with the end tip cut) and a plain nozzle, Squeeze the cream into the holes of the profiteroles. If you cannot find a freezer bag you can spoon in the cream with a small spoon.
- Make the chocolate sauce by melting the chocolate with the water and butter over a double boiler or a pan of low boiling water. Stir gently until smooth and glossy, but do not allow to boil.
- Allow chocolate to cool slightly.
- Built the profiteroles on a serving dish and pour over the chocolate sauce.
- Savour the luxury!

Steps:
- Make the choux pastry: Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Combine the milk, water, butter and salt in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until the liquid is shimmering and the butter is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour and stir to form a dough. Cook, stirring, until the dough releases from the sides of the pan and the flour smells slightly nutty but doesn't brown, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to a large bowl, add 1 egg and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until fully combined. Beat in the remaining 3 eggs, one at a time, to make a sticky, glossy dough.
- Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2- or 3/4-inch round tip. Pipe mounds of dough on the baking sheet, 1 to 1 1/2 inches wide and about 1 inch high, spacing them 1 inch apart; press down the pointy tops with a wet finger. Bake until deep golden and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let the pastry puffs cool completely on the pan.
- Make the chocolate sauce: Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring the heavy cream and corn syrup to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Immediately pour over the chocolate and cover the bowl; let sit 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
- Assemble the profiteroles: Cut the pastry puffs in half horizontally. Fill the bottoms with medium-size scoops of ice cream (about 3 tablespoons each). Cover with the tops and spoon the chocolate sauce all over. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Heat the water, sugar, salt, and butter in a small saucepan, stirring, until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat and dump in the flour all at once. Stir briskly until the mixture is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Allow the dough to cool for 2 minutes, then briskly beat in the eggs, one at a time, until smooth and shiny.
- Using two spoons, scoop up a mound of dough roughly the size of an unshelled walnut with one spoon and scrape it off with the other spoon onto the baking sheet (or you can use a pastry bag or spring-loaded ice cream scoop). Place the mounds, evenly spaced, on the baking sheet. Lightly beat the egg yolk and milk together and brush the top of each mound with some of the egg yolk glaze.
- Bake the cream puffs for 30 minutes, or until puffed and well browned. Turn off the oven and leave them in for another 5 minutes.
- Storage
- The cream puffs are best eaten the same day they're made. Once cooled, they can be frozen in a zip-top freezer bag for up to 1 month. Defrost at room temperature, then warm briefly on a baking sheet in a moderate oven until crisp again.
