piping bag

[nextqueen]

im wanting to pipe cream into profiteroles im going to make but dont have a piping bag, any ideas what i can use instead with double cream? i did think a spoon would be too big and make huge holes in the roles.

Just snip a tiny corner off a polythene bag, insert your piping nozzle and then the cream............

couldn't you just use a plastic food bag and cut the corner off and kinda roll it into the right shape.

slit the profiterole open and spoon the cream in

I wouldn't even bother with a nozzle when using double cream. I'd simply improvise a bag from greaseproof paper, leaving a hole where the nozzle should go, as my mother always did:

or, even easier, just cut a hole in the corner of a sandwich bag.

How are you going to shape the profiteroles without a piping bag (thought they had to be piped too)?

[DaisyNonna]

Roll a cone of greaseproof paper. Cut off the point. Fill with cream. Turn over the opposite end. Squeeze.

mmm thought i read somewhere i could spoon the mixture onto the baking paper?

[sherrardk]

Maybe you can, I've never made them - just seen them being piped on TV (maybe they were making eclairs or the things that are supposed to look like swans?).

You can just spoon them on.. I put the cream in with a teaspoon once too but the ideas to make a bag are good! Also asda tesco and argos do sell them cheap if u want one in future xxx enjoy (mines were mmmm) xx

Waitrose sell rolls of disposable piping bags.
