2 profiteroles for pudding. Is this OK?

[Movinghouseatlast]

I'm.having some friends round this evening- newish friends.

We are having blinis with smoked salmon then slow roast pork, dauphinois potatoes and savoy cabbage.

I made and froze profiteroles last week to have for pudding and there are only two each! I think this will look a bit stupid but I can't really be arsed to make any more.

Is it not really worth serving them? They will look a bit lonely in the bowl. We clearly ate too many of the little buggers when I made them. Obviously they had to be tested...

I know this is a first world problem and I count myself lucky to even have profiteroles.

OP has an immediate problem. I suggested a possible solution. That's all.

I have an immediate problem:

I have no profiteroles.

...it was Christmas day....

Was going to say this too. If they’re filled and then frozen they won’t be that nice. I freeze the buns then refresh in the oven and fill just before serving, to make sure they don’t go leathery.

Thank you everyone!

I almost did a trio of desserts but...

I made some more instead!

I'm still amused at the person who said I wasn't serving enough veg!

Can I come? I’m a perfect dinner party guest (if I do say so myself).

Nice! Can I have the big one on the top?!

I would generally have more than 2 unless tennis ball size.

But really if my friend had made a lovely meal like Op is doing it wouldn't spoil things.

I'd rather the two than no pudding!

It's not as if the food will be so lacking that the pudding is needed to fill up on!

Yes I haven't filled them and frozen them! I will refresh in the oven then fill them.

Thank you OP @Movinghouseatlast
I do like it when a thread is successfully updated

and I'm impressed by you effortlessly whipping up a new batch 😀

Well done, OP. More profiteroles is never the wrong answer.

Yes!

Make some more and let me know when to call round.

That is what I call a proper update 😋

Glad you’ve made more (they look lovely!) and glad it was unanimous that 2 profiteroles are not an adequate dessert on their own!

@Movinghouseatlast Op these look awesome! Would you mind sharing the recipe please?

YUM

Recipe please!

Also fwiw I think two would have been fine actually, maybe with a mousse of some kind to accompany and some raspberries. After blinis, slow roast pork and dauphinoise everyone will be stuffed! All sounds delicious.

Eating the evidence and buying something else seems a good idea.

Oh just realised you made more. I hope there were enough for you to test them.

This is hilarious but your numbers don't add up? 4+4+2=10. But you said there were 8 to start with?

I assumed pp meant the second person took two.

10 potatoes 8 people...

I like that you came back to clarify.

Two is not ok. Get strawberries, cream and flakes to go with it.

And a 2nd dessert eg cheesecake.
