Profiteroles

Author’s Note: I was on a well-deserved vacation and came across this pastry shop that served this delectable dessert. Just by looking at it, I knew that my kids will have fun baking it and tasting it at the same time. I made sure to take pictures of how it was professionally done so I can recreate it as close as possible back home.

Extra Tip:

For an added treat to adults, one of my fancy friends suggested that I pair these pastries to with a shot of Baileys. I tried, and it is a great match.
