Method :
- To make the profiteroles, put the water into a
saucepan and add the butter.
- Gently melt the butter, then bring to the boil.
- As soon as this happens, sieve in the flour,
mustard powder and cinnamon.
- Beat hard with a wooden spoon until the mixture
comes away from the sides of the pan.
- Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then beat in the
eggs, one at a time.
- Add the grated Cheddar, and beat until glossy.
- Use a large nozzle to pipe blobs about 1 in
across on a greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 400F for 20 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Chop the Camembert in small pieces and put in a
food processor.
- Add a little milk and the chervil, and blend to a
smooth paste.
- Remove from the food processor and add the fresh
plums.
- Also make the sauce while the pastries are
cooling.
- Drain the canned plums and pit them if necessary.
- Add them to the cinnamon and chervil in the food
processor and blend to a fairly smooth purée.
- Assemble the profiteroles by halving them and
placing some of the Camembert mixture inside.
- Place the profiteroles on individual plates and
dust with a little cinnamon.
- Serve the sauce separately.
Most people are familiar with chocolate profiteroles,
but this savory version is just as delicious and makes an attractive
starter.
