They were a bit short and definitely needed some vanilla but very good my first time ever making cream puffs and it was an success!! I was very skeptical about making them though I didn't really know why but my dough didn't form a ball so i just winged it and it was yummy!

The taste was all there...but they fell short in height. There were nothing more than puffy cookies. And I followed the reviews! I poked a hole to let the steam escape in the last few minutes of baking. I let the mixture cool before adding the eggs. And why the heck do you need 2 packs of pudding? I wasn't able to even to use half the pudding in my flat puffs.Well, that was probably because they were flat, making filling with pudding a nightmare. Or why heavy cream for that matter? I used 2% milk, and it was still way rich. Used 3 eggs, that was fine. Must try again, brother loves these. Ok, I'm not going to lie though--these taste fnatastic once frozen...still I want some more height!

I have made these three times now, following the directions as written. Once plated, it takes about two minutes until they are gone. A chef friend, who disdains short-cut cooking, loved these. I refused to give the recipe- he will never guess the filling was instant pudding! Lol! These are easy and really delicious. Your friends will think you actually worked on them.

Did anyone think about putting ice cream inside these puffs and putting caramal or chocolate sauce on them? Really good and quick. How about strawberries also.

I have been making these pastries since I was a teenager, in my late 50's now, I make the pastries small then slice them and make little sandwiches, out of ham salad, crab salad,shrimp salad,they are always a hit. People are quite impressed with my culinary abilities.

Makes really great puffy shell, would not deflate even if i want it to. I have a problem with making sure the inside is dry and keeping the outside nicely brown without being overly dark so i turn down the heat halfway. perfect!

These were so easy to make. And sooooo good. I got 52 cream puffs using the small cookie scoop from Pampered Chef. I also used parchment paper and they did not stick. Make sure to cook them for the 20-25 minutes and the middles will be hallow. I was told once that the way to test a cream puff to see if they are done is to tap them with the back of a spoon and they should sound hallow and it worked.

These turned out perfectly with no modifications needed. They didn't stick, or deflate. Very good and easy.

WOW!! I'm so impressed with this recipe!! Made 5 batches and not one didn't turn out!! Took the advise given like to save time add all the eggs at once while dough is on medium speed in the mixer. Plus, poking a hole on the top when they come out of the oven so they don't deflate is such a good tip!! Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe!!

Tasted great! I cut a small hole at the top of the cream puffs and filled them with instant vanilla pudding. Added a sliced strawberry at the top and drizzled them with strawberry syrup. I also dusted them with powdered sugar. Yummm~ I shared it with my family and Youth Group :D I added 3 eggs instead of 4 so I wouldn't get the "too eggy" flavor some people are getting. I also added sugar and vanilla extract to give it flavor like another person had reviewed.

I had to add at least an extra 1/2 cup of flour to get the mixture to form a dough. The result was that the puffs were still good, but maybe not as tender as expected. I will try again with hopefully better results!

Nostalgia! Profiteroles! Filled these babies with Old-Fashioned Vanilla Pudding from this site (no comparison!) and added a little vanilla to the dough. If puffs didn't form their own holes, poking with a toothpick was key for steam-release. Leaving vanilla out, puffs can also be stuffed with non-dessert salads (crab, chicken, etc).

i've made these several times and they always turned out pretty delicious, my boyfriend devours them as soon as i fill the puffs!! however, when i bake them at my apartment, the oven has an electronic screen showing the temp, the puffs didn't expand very much but when i made them at my mom's house, the oven only has a dial with the temp labeled around it, they expanded with up to 3 inch diameters. the amount of dough i use is approximately them same per puff and i set it at the same temp so i'm not sure what happened...

A nice recipe, but you do have to note the reviews for things not mentioned in it. I must have done something wrong too, because I had twice as much filling as I did pastries, and the filling came out too buttery in texture and taste for me. My family seemed to like it though; my sister wanted to eat the filling without the puff.

I made the puffs, using the tricks that everyone mentions, poking the holes, letting them sit in the oven to dry out and then I did something totally different with them, I was attending a party that evening and needed to bring appetizers, I made dozens of these little puffs, after they were cooled I sliced off a small part on the top of each and filled some with almond chicken salad, and some with a feta spinach mixture, and some with shrimp salad and they were a huge huge hit.......Next time I will try the dessert version....

This recipe turned out great. I was worried about the deflation,not to take chances i did like some reviewers did and poked a hole with a toothpick right after baking. Also used parchment paper to avoid any sticking to the bottom. Everyone enjoyed! Thanx 4 this great recipe. will do again & again. ?

Delicious! I've made these what seems like a hundred times and they always disappear the same day. I make my own chocolate icing and drizzle it over the top. Its a great addition but is not necessarily.
