You’ll get plenty, they’ll look gorgeous and taste great, and you’ll still have fish left over for sandwiches.

Step 6
Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe it onto a baking sheet; if you don’t have a bag, you can spoon it on instead. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees and bake for 30 minutes, then lower the temperature to 160 degrees and bake for another 10 minutes. Don’t take the finished profiteroles out of the oven right away—leave them in the turned-off oven for about 10 minutes.
