First, prepare the dough for profiteroles.
To do this, pour into a saucepan with a thick bottom water, put the water butter and add a pinch of salt.
Melt the butter and bring mixture to a boil.
Pour the sifted flour and quickly mix thoroughly.
To reduce the heat.
To enable the heating of the oven 200°.
I have an electric oven and I put on the bottom of the oven small cast iron skillet with water.

Remove the pan from the heat.
To cool down a bit. I just transferred the dough to the bowl.
Add one egg and knead until completely absorbed and dough each egg.

With a cooking bag, or You want it to transplant small dough balls on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Send a baking sheet in the preheated oven.

Шаг 5

I baked the profiteroles for 20 minutes on 190°, then reduced the heat to 160° and bake for another 10 minutes.
Then took out the pan from the oven and put the profiteroles to cool down on a grid, pre-pierced them with a skewer from one side.
Since I only have one pan, and all the profiteroles did not fit, I baked them in two steps.
I just turned a little less than 50 pieces.

While the second batch of profiteroles baked,
I decided to cook the custard.

Caramel in the cake.
It not only holds profiterole with each other, but has a meaning.
When the meal was the profiteroles should be a snap.
And here began my adventure...
I usually make caramel from cane sugar, lemon juice and no problem.
In this recipe I decided to use a more budget option. 300 g plain white sugar I poured 50 ml of water and set to heat up first on low heat and then stirring brought to a boil and began to cook...
I read that it is important not to let the caramel burn... I gave... but after 10 minutes of cooking, I realized that the caramel was too active to thicken..
So I turned off the heat and decided to use the caramel, which turned out...
Need to dip the profiteroles into the caramel, holding them shipname (my minor, I broke two of kitchen tongs in a row... so I had to use tongs for pickles and olives), and put on a plate for cake profiteroles on each other, bonding them with caramel.
After the second choux pastry my caramel froze finally and irrevocably turned into a Lollipop... (to the delight of children).
