First ever profiteroles!!

I must relinquish a fact I have long denied... my oven is shite. There are so many hot and cold spots in it, I would illustrate it as a dalmatian. There is no way to achieve any sort of even baking. In fact, I seem to alternate between convection and grill settings in a cruel dance as I gaze through the glass front of my oven, vainly trying to compensate for my poor old oven's shortcomings.

They looked pretty. So pretty. But they were far to eggy and, besides tasting of omelet, fell soon after they came out of the oven because of the density. So the beautiful creatures before you are misleading.

Choux pastry: one.
Jen: zero.
