From: Book, "Coffee" by Maggie Ramsay
65 g / 2 1/2 oz plain flour | 50 g / 2 oz butter, cut into pieces | |
150 ml / 1/4 pint water | Pinch of salt | |
2 large eggs, beaten | 250 ml / 8 fl oz double cream | |
1 tablespoon strong, cooled coffee | Mocha icing (see mocha icing recipe) | |
Heat oven to 400F (200C), gas mark 6.
Lightly grease a baking sheet. Sift the flour on to a sheet of paper Put water, butter and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat, add the flour all at once and beat hard with a wooden spoon for about 20 seconds, until the mixture comes clear of the sides of the pan. Return the pan to a very low heat and beat for about 30 seconds. Leave to cool slightly. Beat in the eggs, little by little, using just enough egg to make glossy dough, which falls from the spoon. Place 8-10 spoons of dough on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 - 25 minutes. Split each and cool on a wire rack. Combine the cream and coffee and whip until stiff. Use cream and coffee mixture to fill the profiteroles. (place between the two halves). Top with mocha icing. Serves 8 - 10. |
