| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). |
| 2 | Prepare Choux: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add butter and a pinch of salt. |
| 3 | Mix Flour: Once boiling, add all the flour at once. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pot. |
| 4 | Cool Mixture: Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly. |
| 5 | Add Eggs: Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the dough is smooth and glossy. |
| 6 | Shape Dough: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of dough (about the size of a walnut) onto a lined baking sheet. Avoid shaping or flattening them. |
| 7 | Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the profiteroles are golden brown and puffed up. |
| 8 | Prepare Filling: While the profiteroles are baking, prepare the filling. In a saucepan, combine milk, cornflour, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. |
| 9 | Fill Profiteroles: Once baked, remove the profiteroles from the oven and let them cool slightly. Using a pastry bag or spoon, fill each profiterole with the prepared filling. |
