STRAWBERRY CREAM PUFFS
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).

My failed attempt to make a triple-layer strawberry malt mouse resulted in this scrumptious dessert. I don't use puff pastry often, but it was simple to work with. My husband declared it one of the best desserts ever.

Tips:
- To make the perfect choux pastry, use a digital kitchen scale to measure the ingredients accurately. This will ensure that the pastry is the right consistency.
- Make sure the butter and milk are cold before you start making the choux pastry. This will help the pastry to rise properly.
- When piping the choux pastry, hold the piping bag perpendicular to the baking sheet and pipe the pastry in a circular motion. This will help to create even-sized cream puffs.
- Bake the cream puffs until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- While the cream puffs are cooling, make the strawberry sauce. This can be done ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
- Once the cream puffs are completely cool, fill them with the whipped cream and strawberry sauce. You can use a piping bag or a spoon to fill the cream puffs.
- Serve the cream puffs immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
