I always thought Petit Choux (or Profiteroles) were a complicated pastry. Just a myth. It is a nice dough to work with and the result is just delicious…can’t stop eating them!

For the piping bag, a little trick: To fill it in a clean way place the bag inside a tall cup or glass. Fold the excess bag that doesn’t fit inside the cup over the edges of the cup. Spoon the dough inside the bag. Remove the bag from the cup and squeeze any air bubbles out of the bag. Twist the top part of the bag and proceed with piping.

Music…Teardrop by Massive Attack.

And versatile. I had it for dinner, just with butter. And for breakfast the next morning with strawberry jam. Both delicious.

*Photo is not great. By the time I realised the photos weren’t great I couldn’t take anymore. The bread was gone.

A bit of Cuban/Spanish fusion for today’s music. Lagrimas Negras by Bebo Valdes & Diego El Cigala.

Trufas

Intense and delicate. And very easy to make.

The main thing is to use a good chocolate. Valrhona is my choice.

Then, you can play around with ingredients: chopped almonds or hazelnuts, chocolate chips, a piece of candied orange or ginger in the middle….

Music…  A Walk on The Wild Side by Lou Reed.
