Cream puffs

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• ¼ liter of water
• 1 pinch of salt
• 50 g margarine
• 150 g flour
• 4 eggs
• 4 cups whipped cream
• Fruit of your choice

Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Bring water, salt, and fat to a boil in a narrow saucepan. Remove the pan from the heat, add the flour, and stir until smooth, i.e., “burn” on the heat, until the mixture separates from the pan in a lump and a white skin forms on the bottom of the pan. Allow to cool, then stir in the beaten eggs, one at a time. Place small heaps of the mixture onto a prepared baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 225°C (top/bottom heat) on the middle rack for approximately 30-40 minutes (leaving enough space between each heap to allow for rising). Cut open the profiteroles while hot and allow to cool. Fill with whipped cream and fruit of your choice.
