Profiteroles, chocolate eclairs, cream puffs, vandbakkelser...


Dough
2 dl water
100 g flour

Cook water and butter until melted, mix in flour until dough is smooth, cool down slightly and add eggs one at a time. Put cakes on pan with a spoon (or piping bag) and bake in oven at 200 degrees for 20-30 minutes (oven must not be opened first 15 minutes). Take out one cake and test if it collapses.

1 tbsp vanilla sugar or one vanilla bean
1-2 tbsp icing sugar (flormelis)

Whip all ingredients.

Chocolate sauce

"Kartoffelkage"-version
Instead of chocolate sauce, put a thin layer of marcipan on top of the cake and sprinkle with cocoa powder
