I'm probably in the minority but I've never liked cream puffs. This recipe may produce perfectly delicious ones but I don't remember tasting them and I know I won't make the recipe to try them. (The image at left does not show the cream puffs from this recipe.)

I've had 2 kinds of cream puffs -- one has that light, airy cream and the other has a yellowy pudding-like cream. I like the latter.
ReplyDeleteHi, Wendy. I think it was the pudding-like cream that I tried and didn't like. But it wasn't just the filling that didn't do it for me. I think it was the combination of cream and slightly crusty "puff." I do like those long donuts filled with the white filling, but the dough in a doughnut is soft. Maybe my daughter will try this recipe.
