Profiteroles with Vanilla Bean Pastry Cream #FoodieReads

I had been wondering what to do with some leftover pastry cream. A blogger friend joked, " I'm sorry I have to ask...what is leftover pastry cream?? I have never heard of this thing." I know, I know. It's a rarity, but my kids made pastry cream enough for an army. If you have been following me at all this week, you'll know that my second dose of the COVID vaccine sidelined me completely. I pretty much lounged in bed for three days. The upside: I got through several books. On the Page So, I had just read  A Villa in Sicily: Olive Oil and Murder  by Fiona Grace and thought I'd pick up another of her books.  I breezed through Beachfront Bakery: A Killer Cupcake  by Fiona Grace* and it hit me. I would make profiteroles and fill them with that leftover pastry cream. I'll get to that in a moment. Reading two cozy mysteries by Grace so close together, I can say: she has a formula. I won't be reading any more of her books, I don't think. But I enjoyed them...
