I have been putting off making Choux pastry for ages...well over a year...now I must ask myself why? Why have I been depriving my family of profiteroles all this time? What an easy easy recipe to make. The resulting puffs are light airy and generally perfect. I made mine pretty small, and got about 20 total puffs. Total baking time for me was 31 minutes. Since I don't have a stand mixer, I just let the mixture cool before adding the eggs (per Mean's advice), and then used my hand mixer for the addition of the eggs. To serve these beauties I filled with a simple pastry cream and drizzled with fudge sauce. Absolute sin. Thanks Mean! :)
