This recipe was awesome! Thanks for the tips about poking with a toothpick...they were better than I had even imagined! I followed the recipe exactly and it was amazing.

This recipe is amazing! I also had the sticking problem, but I let them cool and carefully removed them. I did add more than a tablespoon on the cookie sheet and what I found to be imperative, keep the dough tall on sheet. Go Up instead of out. This might help the ones who didn't have luck with rising. The puffs were so fluffy I just cut a small hole in tops, and piped in the cream mixture. Chocolate Ganache was an amazing tip from other reviews. You can also dust them with powdered sugar. My Hubby took them to work and now the whole office is buzzing for more. Men and their sweet tooth.

WOW!!! What a recipe. I made this and substituted the vanilla pudding mix for pistachio pudding mix and it was phenomenal. It will definitely be in my recipe box.

This was a very simple and very easy recipe! One thing I did differently however was changing the amount of eggs to 3 instead of the 4 eggs. It's still perfectly good! You don't necessarily have to mix all the eggs one by one, since it's the same, but it'll be easier to mix everything. Then when you're done baking it, poke holes into the side, but I didn't find that necessary since mine were firm and weren't going to sag, but maybe because I poked holes into it. But yes, poke holes into just to make sure. This was a great recipe and I will be coming back here more often to make some more!

These are very easy and good. I didnt use the cream, just the puff and used another cream on this site called "pastry cream". The puffs, however, are delicious! i added a tbsp of sugar to them, replaced butter with oil(i was out of butter), and poked a few small holes around the 18 min mark. Sadly, i overbaked them and they burned slightly on the bottom. Next time, ill reduce the temp to 400 degrees. Overall though, these are delicious and definitely a keeper. Thanks Shellie!

After making this recipe 2 times and it was a flop, tasted good but the shells were terribly floppy, I found out that you have to keep the water, butter, flour mixture over the heat til it forms a nice dough ball. if you don't it will turn into a liquidity mixture, I recommend watching the video to see what the consistency should be.

I usually read reviews before i make a recipe on here, but this time I just followed the recipe exactly, and they came out PERFECT! I baked mine for about 22 minutes on the top rack and they were perfect. No soggy shells here. I put the filling in a ziplock bag and snipped a corner off, then delicately cut the tops off my shells, the insides are soft enough to just squeeze the filling right in, replace the tops and I drizzle some melted cocolate on top. As far as adding the eggs, i took the batter from the pot to a separate bowl like it said, I used a wooden spoon like it suggested, and I added one egg at a time. At 1st it makes the batter act strange and separate, but keep mixing, it gets a little drier and elastic like. I did not wait for anything to cool before adding my eggs, and they did not cook like some said happened to them. My family loved them!!!

I tried this recipe twice, good and all, but someone help! They come out fine, I poke a hole, but they always go flat! what am I doing wrong? And I bake them for 25 min, and they still aren't done. They look great in the oven, and right when I pull them out, but then they go flat, and they are gooey inside. What am I doing wrong? Can anybody help?

I made this and my husband said they were the best cream puffs he's ever had. I was surprised how easy they were to make!
