The Uruguayan "bombas" are very similar to profiteroles. This pastry was introduced in France by Caterina de' Medici, wife of Henry II of France, who brought from Tuscany several recipes, including the profiterole. From there it spread all over the world, in each place with its own characteristics. The Uruguayan version includes a filling of “dulce de leche”, a kind of caramel, but with a specific taste.
Ingredients
1L water300g butter
500g self-raising flour
20 eggs
1kg dulce de leche, or 3 pots caramel
Preparation
Place the water to boil in a saucepan. Add the butter and flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until mixed well. Set aside for a few minutes to cool down.Add the eggs, two or three at a time, stirring after each group.
When the mixture is ready, place little balls of the dough in a tray, separated by 2 or 3 inches as they will double in size.
Bake in the oven at 220°C for 20 minutes. Make sure you do not open the door of the oven.
Reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake for another 30 minutes. The colour of the dough should be golden and dry inside.
Fill the profiteroles with the caramel, making a cut in the top or at the bottom. Top them with icing sugar, fondant or chocolate.
If you have made a large amount, you can freeze them in a plastic bag before filling.

Hot Tips
Potato storage
Store in a thick brown paper bag, in a cool, dry, dark place. Discard any potatoes that have developed a green tinge, indicating a rise of (potentially dangerous) solanine levels. Opt for unwashed potatoes where possible as the dirt protects the potatoes.
Glossary
Gnocchi
A small dumpling made of flour, semolina, potato or choux pastry. They are usually poached and then cooked with grated cheese in the oven and served as a hot starter.
