Home made profiteroles, just the best!!

Wow - looks very scrummy!!!

Ooooh.....those look good enough to eat...lol I wonder if I would be confident enough to make some....I've got the cream :)

I have been deprived never tasted home made ones.

happy new year too :)))))))))

Ok Brian, next visit!!

I would have fought for the middle one!

OMG.......Lovely.....but I can feel another inch on the bum is coming.....lol.....enjoy.......

ooh,my favourites...Temptress ! :o) Happy New Year to you
and your family..:o)

I've never had these but they look AMAZING!!! Is a recipe possible? Pretty please.

Ha!!! No need to ask if you enjoyed nye then! they look lush..no wonder they didn't last long! Happy New Year, hope to catch up with you (in a G/C!!) in the next few months! xx

Having now seen the recipe ML, I have decided that I am not in need of any further book ends, which is what ended up happening to the last pastries I attempted making ;(
Thank you though!

That would be fantastic ML. I don't mind if you have to fill them full of preservatives.

Brilliant, Meadowland! They look scrummy, and aren't THAT difficult. You have to persevere, ladies - If I can do it, anyone can.
It took me ages to learn to make them, and then one day I discovered I could, and they've come our right ever since. I wasn't aware that I was doing anything different. Last time I did it, though, a visitor was offered the plate and took the top one (all piled up in a pyramid), and lifted the entire pile up - I'd managed to glue them all together with the chocolate!

Well I suppose Gattina it was better than going in from the bottom! lol. They look good enough to eat Meadow,Hahaa!

I helped to make a 3 ft Croquembouche for a birthday cake in june. Unfortunately it was drizzled with white chocolate, I hate white chocolate.

It was a very polite Italian friend of D's, so not sure what she made of it!
Unfortunately, I have an incredibly sweet tooth, and will be very happy to eat any white chocolate you are rejecting, P & ML. Dark chocolate, though, is the only way forwards on profiteroles.

Wow.... they look wonderful. What a talented cook your d-i-l is! Its always nice to have your food eaten up with enthusiasm. Those profiteroles look quite generously proportioned - I would have gone for the middle one too. Hope they were as lovely as they look!!

I have not braved making these yet and so yesterday I bought some from our Tesco (tiny and I thought, rather expensive...1 dozen in a pyramid for £2.40)...they were consumed in a flash (not all by my I hasten to add!!).

I'll have to bite the bullet and just have a go :)

A good tip for cooking choux pastry of any kind, Whistonlass, is to put a pan of hot water in the bottom of the oven while they are cooking - the steam helps to puff everything up. Send us photo of the finished product!

There you are Whistonlass a new challenge for a new year. Why not have a go - think how pleased youll be. Dont forget to put a picci on for us to see. GL!

those are the best profiteroles ive seen hope you enjoyed them.happy new year to every one.roll on spring.

I'll give it a shot one day very soon....no camera as yet for piccies (mine has given up the ghost recently). A new year challenge for me :)

These look absolutely delicious.......well done you.......Grows on you.....weight that is if you ate this lot. LOL
