Actually the recipe said it was 'Coffee profiteroles with chocolate sauce' but nobody would understand what in the world that thing is anyway! And I changed the coffee cream to vanilla custard cream.
Custard filling:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup castor sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups milk
2 eggs beaten
2tsp vanilla
Directions:
1. Combine sugar, flour and salt in a saucepan.
2. Stir mix, let boil for 1 min and remove from heat.
3. Beat eggs in a separate bowl. Stir 1/2 of the mixture into the eggs.
4. Blend that into the rest of the mixture.
5. Bring to JUST BOIL, depending on the consistency you want. If you let it boil, the custard will curdle.
6. Cool and blend with vanilla.
7. Set aside in the fridge.
Choux pastry:
Ingredients:
125ml water
50g cold butter
65g plain flour, sifted
pinch of salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Directions:
1. Make the custard filling first (refer above)
2. Make the choux pastry. Put water and butter in a small saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted. Bring to boil, remove pan from heat and immediately mix in the flour and salt until evenly combined. Return to pan to a gentle heat and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mixture comes together and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
3. Remove pan from heat and beat in the eggs with a wooden spoon, a little at a time, beating well after each mixture until egg is incorporated and mixture is smooth and shiny.
4. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Spoon the dough into a piping bag and pipe onto the baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between each one.
5. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 deg celcius, until puffed up and golden (abt 20 mins). Remove from ovem cut a small slit in each one and return to oven for a furthur 5 mins to crisp up.
6. Let cool for FIVE(5) mins and then peel off from baking paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Note: You HAVE to peel it off asap, or the pastry will stick to the baking paper.
7. Cut the puffs intro almost 1/2 and spoon the custard filling. Serve drizzled with melted chocolate or sifted icing sugar.
