Profiteroles with chocolate sauce

SERVES SIX TO EIGHT

To make the profiteroles, preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Sift the flour, caster sugar and salt carefully on to a large sheet of parchment paper – this will allow you to roll up the paper and shoot the flour quickly into the butter mixture when it’s ready. Put the butter and water in a saucepan and heat until the butter melts, continuing until it starts to boil – when it does, remove from the heat and use the paper like a slide to add the flour to the pan.
