- 300ml/10fl oz double cream
For the glaze:
- 100g/4oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 25g/1oz butter

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Line two baking trays with baking parchment.
2. Put the water, butter and salt in a saucepan and heat until the butter has melted. Bring to the boil and then remove from the heat. Quickly add the flour, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until it forms a ball of dough.
3. Return the mixture to a medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes, until the dough is smooth and shiny. Transfer the dough to a bowl and leave to cool for 5 minutes.
4. Gradually beat the eggs into the dough until it is thick and glossy. Place tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking trays, leaving space between each one. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.
5. To make the filling, put the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Leave to cool.
6. To assemble the profiteroles, use a small sharp knife to make a hole in the bottom of each pastry. Using a piping bag with a large plain nozzle, fill the pastry cases with the chocolate cream. Place the filled cases on a serving plate.
7. To make the glaze, put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the golden syrup and stir until combined.
8. Pour the glaze over the profiteroles and leave to set before serving.
