Tips:

  • Make sure your oven is preheated before baking the cream puffs. This will help them rise evenly and prevent them from collapsing.
  • Don't overmix the choux pastry. Overmixing will make the dough tough and the cream puffs will not rise properly.
  • Pipe the choux pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help the cream puffs keep their shape and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the cream puffs until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the cream puffs cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cream puffs soggy.
  • Use a piping bag to fill the cream puffs. This will help you create a neat and even filling.
  • Refrigerate the cream puffs after filling them. This will help them set and firm up.
