Recipe's preparation

    Custard
  1. Make 1lt TM5 Automated Custard. Thick and creamy. Refrigerate while you make pastry. 

  2. Pastry
  3. Preheat oven to 200c

     

  4. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper

  5. Add Butter and Water to bowl, cook for 3.5 minutes /100 degrees/speed 1

  6. Add Flour and Baking powder. Cook 1 min/80 degrees/Speed 4

  7. Mix for further 2 mins /speed 4 no heat

  8. Spread mixture up sides of bowl and allow to cool with lid off for 5 minutes. 

  9. Push mixture back down with spatula and mix for 60 seconds/speed 5 adding one egg at a time thrugh opening.

  10. Pipe into either small rounds, or longer mounds for eclairs. 

  11. Place in over for 20 minutes.

  12. Allow to cool with door slightly open, this helps then dry out inside.

  13. Filling
  14. Add pre prepared custad to piping bag.

  15. Peirce hole in profiterole with piping tip and pipe custard in until its full. I find peircing on top is easiest to then disguise with chocolate.

  16. Coating
  17. Melt chocolate in microwave for 45 sec to a minute. 

  18. Once rolls are filled, invert, and dip in melted chocolate.

  19. Refrigerate before serving.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    Just made these for the first time, turned out awesome.
    next time I’ll pipe them a bit bigger as I thought they’d double in size but they didn’t really.

    I’ve tried several times to make profiteroles. They taste great but always sigh so cant really use them. What am I doing wrong. I follow the recipe to a T

    Yum! Also.. took the advice of putting water on the top of them before baking - turned out great!

    Absolutely amazing recipe! I've made them a couple of times and they are just perfect.

    Definately need to flatten the tips with a wet finger to avoid burning and I leave them in the oven overnight to dry through.

    Pipe with a piping gun as the custard is thick.

    I also usually get about 50 out of a batch.

    Had no problems at all following this recipe! Although i'd recommend adding a step to press down on the piped profiteroles with a wet finger before putting them in the oven.

    These work very well with a quality chocolate and a vanilla or choc custard, can be a little bland otherwise.

    Thank you.
