I have been making these puffs for 13ish years when I first saw the recipe in my moms magazine. I love the puff and I never make this cream... lazy mans way is to make a box of vanilla pudding and fold in coolwhip. Then pipe into the puffs.

Cream puffs are a pretty standard recipe, do nothing outstanding about these, EXCEPT brushing with egg and milk, They will rise higher and be puffier if you DON'T brush with egg and milk! Brushing with even a tiny bit of the mixture weighs the pate choux down so it can not puff up as much as it should. When's the last time you saw a shiny cream puff at a bakery? Like never. That said, they're good, but better filled with creme patisserie than whipped cream

Just before serving, fill center with a scoop of ice cream, put the lid back on and pour hot fudge over the top. Yum

Cream puffs have been made by my family for many many years. When my kids were little, my Mom made cream puffs but changed the filling to suit youngsters. She made pudding and mixed it with Dream Whip. She always made chocolate and vanilla. My kids adored her for it.

My husband is the cook in the family, I burn bagels in the toaster oven frequently. But he wanted cream puffs for thanksgiving dessert so I gave this recipe a try and it came out marvelously! I can't believe I made something so delicious and beautiful

I made these cream puffs for my son's birthday at his request. It was a hit, no leftovers. They were easy and quick to make. I placed the dough in a plastic bag and cut a small hole in the corner and piped them out onto a Silpat to make mini puffs. I let them cool in the oven. When I sliced them open they were hollow and no need to remove any yummy innards. I did bake them at 425 for 20 minutes. I filled them with homemade vanilla pudding the next day.

How do you prevent all of the extra dough inside the puff? What oven rack is the correction position for the puffs? My puffs were not puffy after they cooled and I sliced them.

Cream puffs are easy to make - been making them for 50 yrs. However, never attempt to double recipe (make two separate batches) and never attempt to make when humidity level is above 45 to 50% or actually raining. They will come out like hockey pucks.
