Lots of people think cream puffs are difficult to make—but I've never had these fail me! By now, I can't remember whether I came across this recipe somewhere or made it up myself. I began cooking quite young, and strawberry Cream Puffs were always a favorite of my younger sister. She lives in California now...I make them whenever she visits! My husband's diversified farmer with an emphasis on farrow-to-finish hogs. We have three children (5 years, 3 years and 6 months).

These turned out great for me although I ended up making twelve puffs instead of ten.

Thought the puffs had an "eggy" taste. I mad the rye party puffs that is also on this site. They were fantastic, so I thought I'd try sweet ones. The filling was a bit loose and just tasted ok. The baking time in my oven was WAY too long. The first batch was very brown, so I adjusted to the rye party puff suggestion. The rest turned out well. It also doesn't say to cut slits in them like the party puffs. I did that step also.
