Similar to Cream Puffs, Profiteroles are delicate, airy French pastries made from choux pastry, a light dough made with butter, water, flour and eggs. During baking, they puff up, creating a hollow center ideal for various fillings. Depending on the filling, profiteroles can be sweet or savory, making them versatile treats for serving at different occasions or satisfying a sweet tooth.Chef Antonin Carême, who was–and still is–highly regarded as one of the most influential French chefs in history, popularized profiteroles in the 19th century by adding a cream filling and warm caramel topping.He took the pastry one step further by towering them atop one another into what would become the croquembouche.
