ReplyDeleteI love profiterol but all the time I'm scared of making the choux.
ReplyDeleteYours looks delicious. Thanks for sharing
I made these during Daring Bakers one month! They come out so beautifully and look like so much work - but your eaters don't have to know your secrets :)
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing! Haven't had profiterol since I was in elementary school - there was a place I used to get it from and eat it on the patio, they served it with a scoop of ice cream on the side. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
