In reply to Phu'o'ng Nguyen-Beniston. You could certainly make the filling and the pastry one day and then fill them the next day. :)

Hi there, is there any way to do this in two days, like chill overnight or something? I don’t have time to do it all tonight, but i’d like to make a start.

The filling was rich and creamy, and the pastry was perfect. Best ever!

In reply to Ďàrñèll Belcher. Hi Darnell! The best thing to do is freeze them when they are finished and assembled. What do you mean by other cream filling?

My niece randomly requested cream puffs for her birthday, which I have never made. This recipe was perfect, so easy to follow. I used the updated pastry cream recipe and they were delicious!

the perfect recipe! I use a little more sugar in my filling, but this is by far the best one out there!

These were sooo good! My only complaint is that I was only able to use half of the custard to fill the cream puffs and now have to use it elsewhere, but I wouldn’t say that’s a bad problem to have!

How much vanilla extract to use?

In reply to Amy E. Hi Amy! If you make them larger they will take a bit longer to bake. :)

Does the baking time change if I make 10-15 larger puffs instead of the 20 smaller ones?

This was my first try at Cream Puffs. Success!! I was amazed when I started filling the Puffs and they actually filled up with cream.
Great instructions and recipe.

This recipe was amazing! I added 1 extra egg to the dough because it was feeling too thick and they turned out perfect! I especially love the cream!

In reply to Cream. We're so happy they turned out for you! Thanks for the high altitude tips :)

By: Cream

They came out great! I live in a higher altitude (4200-4300 feet above sea level) so 25 minutes works. But if anyone else lives in similar altitudes, 23-24 may work better. My oven doesn’t have a window, so I’m a little paranoid of doing less time and opening the oven to check 😅
