perfectly petite profiteroles


Posted by Picasa
my adorable nieces and nephews are coming in town this weekend for the long holiday and that means cookouts!  that also means dessert.  i am going to get my niece, avery, to help me with these. (she helps me with all my pies i make during the holidays).  this is probably the easiest, most time consuming looking dessert i have ever made.  it literally took me about 5 minutes to put these together.  just 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 stick of butter, 1/2 cup of flour, pinch of salt and a pinch of cinnamon.   i used vanilla yogurt as my filling - my way of making it just a bit "healthier", and melted a few chocolate chips with some water over a double boiler and here is what i got. you can find the original recipe here.
