Ruby Chocolate Profiteroles

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, confectioner's sugar, and salt.

3. 3

   Add the ruby chocolate and use a spatula to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Gradually add the cold butter, using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

5. 5

   Add the saffron threads and vanilla extract, mix until the dough comes together.

6. 6

   Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

7. 7

   In a small saucepan, combine the milk, and ruby chocolate. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

   Tip: Use a heatproof bowl to avoid scorching.

8. 8

   Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch (1 cm). Use a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out circles of dough.

9. 9

   Spoon a small amount of the ruby chocolate mixture into the center of each dough circle.

10. 10

    Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle or a circle, and press the edges together to seal.

    Tip: Use a fork to crimp the edges.

11. 11

    Place the profiteroles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each pastry.

12. 12

    Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
