INGREIDENTS

230g (1 cup) butter;

240ml (1 cup) water;

240ml (1 cup) milk;

½ tsp salt;

4 tsp sugar;

250g (2 cups) flour;

8 eggs;

2 sheets puff pastry;

1l (4 cups) sweetened heavy cream, whipped;

Powdered sugar.

METHOD

Melt butter, water, salt, milk and sugar in one pan.
Add flour and whisk until dough forms. Cook the dough for 1 minute, then remove from heat and transfer into a different bowl.
Whisk 8 eggs and start pouring them into the pastry while working with a hand mixer.
When all of the eggs are incorporated, transfer the pastry into a piping bag and pipe portions of it onto the parchment-covered baking sheet.
Bake at 200C/400F for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 180C/350F and bake for 10 minutes more.
When profiteroles are done, leave them to cool down, then fill with pastry cream.
Roll out puff pastry and cut 5 different circles: 24 cm, 20 cm, 16 cm, 12 cm and 6 cm each.
Poke each circle with a fork, then bake at 200C/400f for 12-15 minutes.
Cover each puff pastry layer with cream and secure profiteroles on top.
Stack layers together in the shape of a Christmas tree. Decorate using powdered sugar.
