Honey Profiteroles

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, honey, and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the honey has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling.

   Tip: Be careful not to boil the mixture.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cocoa powder.

   Tip: Make sure to sift the dry ingredients to incorporate air.

4. 4

   Add the melted butter and whisk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.

   Tip: Use an electric mixer if you prefer a lighter texture.

5. 5

   Pour the hot milk mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix.

6. 6

   Using a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, pipe the batter into small balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

   Tip: Make sure the balls are evenly sized for even baking.

7. 7

   Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the profiteroles are golden brown and firm to the touch.

   Tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.

8. 8

   Allow the profiteroles to cool completely on a wire rack.

   Tip: This will help the profiteroles to keep their shape.

9. 9

   To assemble, fill a piping bag with the whipped cream and pipe into the cooled profiteroles.

   Tip: You can also fill them with other sweet fillings, such as chocolate ganache or caramel.
