How to make a custard dough for profiterols? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take high-quality, premium grade wheat flour. Be sure to sift it to saturate with oxygen, then the baking will turn out to be airy. Remove the eggs in advance from the refrigerator so that they have time to warm to room temperature.

Pour milk and water into the saute pan. Take high-quality, filtered water, not from the tap. Add the butter. Place a saucepan on the stove and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly to keep the mixture from burning.

As soon as the butter melts and steam appears, pour in a pinch of salt and sugar. Stir well and continue to cook, stirring. If you cook profiteroles exclusively with a sweet filling, you can add more sugar about 1 tablespoon. If you think to start with unsweetened filling, 0. 5 teaspoon of sugar is enough.

The mixture should not boil as soon as you see the first bubbles, turn off the fire. Pour in all the flour and stir quickly with a wooden or silicone spatula. The dough should gather in a lump and easily lag behind the walls of the dishes.

When the dough has cooled, transfer it to a blender bowl. Add one egg and whisk the mass at medium rpm. Add a second egg, stir again, then the third and fourth egg in turn.

The dough should be so smooth, uniform, a little fluid.

Transfer it to a pastry bag. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a cooking mat for baking. Squeeze circles at a distance of about 4 cm through the hole of the bag. You can use the closed star nozzle and squeeze out the sprockets or simply put the blanks in a teaspoon. Bake in the oven preheated to 200 degrees for 10 minutes, then at 180 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.

Keep in mind that everyone's ovens are baked differently, because the baking time may differ. The main thing here is to finish profitroli. Up should brown well, and if you knock on them from above and hear a dull sound, then turn off the oven. Open a little door and leave the profitroli to cool for 10-15 minutes, then remove. Start completely cooled profiteroles with sweet or unsweetened filling. Serve as a snack or dessert.
