The cream puffs were a little bit dry. I think I should have added more milk to the dough.

I had a hard time getting the pastry to rise. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cream puffs were a little bit too sweet for me, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with a less sweet filling.
