Tips for Working with Our Profiterole Shells
- Storage: To keep our shells crispy, store them in a cool, dry place. Once filled, serve them promptly to maintain their perfect texture.
- Filling: We recommend using a piping bag for neat and easy filling. Ensure the filling is thick enough to hold up well inside the shells.
- Want them warm?: For an extra crispy texture, lightly toast the shells in the oven for a few minutes before filling them.
