CRABMEAT AND AVOCADO PROFITEROLES RECIPE

Steps:

• For the crabmeat and avocado salad: Place the crabmeat in a bowl and combine with the avocado, lime juice, buttermilk, chives and cilantro. Season generously with salt, pepper and cayenne. For the dough: Preheat oven to 450°. In 2 quart pot, combine the butter and water. On a piece of wax or parchment paper, sift together the flour, salt and sugar. Bring the water and butter to a rolling boil, remove from heat and dump the flour mixture in all at once. Stir with wooden spoon or paddle to incorporate. Return the saucepot to high heat and cook, stirring for about one minute. The mixture will form a ball and coat the pan with a thin film. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl or standing mixer equipped with the paddle attachment. Mix the dough for a minute or so on low speed, to release some of the heat. Add the eggs, one at a time, completely incorporating each one before adding the next. Beat until dough gets thick and ribbony. Fit a pastry bag with a round tip #5 and fill with the warm dough. Line a heavy cookie sheet with parchment paper. Pipe about 40-50 1 inch mounds about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden and puffed. Reduce heat to 350° and bake for another 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and there is no sign of moisture in the crevices. Use when cool or freeze wrapped in a plastic bag for 2-3 months. To assemble: Using a serrated knife, cut the profiteroles in half and fill with the crabmeat and avocado filling Arrange on a platter and serve immediately.
