Small cream puffs

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 75 g butter
• 100 g flour
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 3 eggs
• 200 g cream, whipped
• 125 ml water
• possibly chocolate sauce

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 35 minutes

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Melt the butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil with 125 ml of water. Reduce the heat and add the flour, salt, and sugar all at once to the pan. Stir everything together until a ball forms that easily detaches from the bottom of the pan. Let the pan cool briefly next to the stove, then whisk in the eggs one at a time. Fill the batter into a piping bag and pipe walnut-sized balls onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake at 180°C (fan oven) for 20-30 minutes. Let cool, cut in half, and fill with cream, if desired. If you like, you can drizzle the profiteroles with chocolate sauce.
