Spoon the profiteroles onto a baking sheet. I couldn’t fit everything on one sheet, so I used two trays. Smooth the dough tips that form when you pipe them with a damp finger. Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Bake at 190 °C for 30–35 minutes, then lower the temperature to 160 °C and bake for another 10 minutes. When you turn off the oven, slightly open the door and let the profiteroles cool a bit.
