Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Oranges: Fresh oranges will give your puffs the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic oranges.
  • Zest the Oranges Finely: When you zest the oranges, be sure to zest them finely. This will help the orange flavor distribute evenly throughout the puffs.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the puffs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the puffs hold their shape.
  • Bake the Puffs Until They Are Golden Brown: The puffs should be golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside. A toothpick inserted into the center of a puff should come out clean.
  • Fill the Puffs While They Are Still Warm: The puffs will be easier to fill while they are still warm. You can use a piping bag or a spoon to fill the puffs.
