eggPreparation steps
1.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180 fan) | 400°F | gas 6. Oil and line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper, then spray it with a little water.
2.
Put the butter in a saucepan with 150 ml cold water and heat until the butter melts and the water starts to boil. Turn off the heat and immediately beat in the flour with a wooden spoon. Continue to beat the mixture until it forms a smooth ball of pastry and leaves the sides of the saucepan clean.
3.
Stir in the beaten egg a little at a time until you have a glossy paste. Spoon the pastry into a piping bag fitted with a large plain nozzle and pipe 5 cm | 2" buns onto the prepared baking tray.
4.
Bake for 10 minutes, then increase the heat to 220°C (200 fan) | 425°F | gas 7 and bake for another 10 minutes.
5.
Transfer the choux buns to a wire rack and make a small hole in the underneath of each one with a skewer so the steam can escape. Leave to cool completely.
6.
Whip the cream with the icing sugar and vanilla until thick. Spoon the cream into a piping bag fitted with a large plain nozzle and fill the choux buns through the steam hole.
7.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave or bain marie and spoon on top of the choux buns. Top with sweets.
