Everybody should know how to make cream puffs. They're easy and fun to make and delicious too.
Cream puffs, like muffins, are one of the first things most bakers learn how to make. The method isn't difficult, but be sure to carefully read through the instructions before you begin. Once you've made your cream puffs, you can fill them with anything you like. Ice cream is a natural choice, as is any kind of pudding or pie filling. Drizzle the filled puffs with chocolate sauce or caramel sauce, top with a puff of whipped cream, or serve in a pool of pureed strawberries or raspberries. You can make small or large puffs; it's up to you! This recipe is unsweetened, so you can also use the small puffs for appetizers. Enjoy! Cream Puffs
