Instructions

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas

Equipment you will use

Oven

To make the choux pastry, sift the flour onto a large sheet of baking parchment. This will stop lumps of flour forming in the dough.

Ingredients you will need

Dough

All Purpose Flour

Put the butter, milk, water, sugar and salt in a pan, and heat gently until the butter has completely melted. Only once the butter has melted, increase the heat and bring the liquid to the boil. When bubbling, remove quickly from the heat and tip in the flour all at once. Immediately beat with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a dough that leaves the side of the pan clean. Return to a low heat, stirring, for 1 min.

Or use a plastic food bag and snip off the tip of a corner. Poke into each hole in turn, and pipe in the filling until full. The profiteroles should be fully cool before you do this.
