Profiteroles with ice cream and chocolate sauce

1 cup water
½ cup butter
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 TB sugar
4 eggs

In a saucepan add water and butter and bring to a rolling boil. Combine flour, baking powder and sugar and add-all at once to water. Stir with a wooden spoon, until all is combined and the flour forms a smooth paste and easily removes from the sides of the pan (about a minute). Let cool and then add and mix in the eggs, one at a time until all the eggs are used. the dough will be thick and shiny. Drop by rounded spoonful onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 400 degree hours for about 40-45 minutes depending on the size of the puffs. They are ready when golden and firm. Cool, cut top and fill with your favorite ice cream and top with chocolate sauce.

Chocolate Sauce

Melt semi sweet chocolate pieces in a double broiler. Add one or two pats of butter and about ¼ cup of cream or milk, a bit at a time until you’ve reached the desired thickness.
