How to make Cream Puffs - Easy Cream Puffs Recipe

[@keeley7825]

When you take them out of the oven, poke a hole at the top with the tip of the knife on each puff... put them back in the oven for 5 minutes and this allows the steam to release and for the cream puff to become drier inside to keep it from becoming doughy when colling. You'll like this tip, it makes for a better cream puff.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Cool great tip! thanks for sharing!

Love your video of one of my favorite dessert thank you

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thanks!! You are welcome!

[@sarahjordan4736]

Hi Matt! Just got done making these. I was so afraid they would fall as the dough appeared to fall as I piped it, but they puffed up just right. My oven must run hot though, because mine were slightly over baked. Will try again with less bake time :) I decided not to slice mine in half, and filled mine with chocolate ganache, then rolled them around in powdered sugar. This recipe was a win for sure! Thanks for your videos Matt! :)

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome Sarah!! Yeah your oven could run hot or mine could also be slightly off, ovens can vary depending on age, etc. So cool great idea with the ganache!!! Yummy! :) And you are welcome! Sorry for the late reply! I was on vacation in Georgia for the eclipse.

the way u smile while eating puffs 😀👍

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

hahaha yeah the cream came out when I bit into it, so yummy!, you can actually chill them in the fridge, and it really helps the cream not come out everywhere when you bit into them. haha

[@marlenelopez3313]

Awesome video those cream puffs look tasty!! What I noticed that helped me is tapping the top with a little bit of water so the tip doesnt get burnt, brushing it with a little bit of egg and spraying around the sheet with water so they don't dry out. I like this recipe since it's easy, fast, and tasty so great job!! 😎

[@rebaziislam6185]

Hi. Please can u help me? I made cream puffs a few times and times. They puff really nice but when i take them out of oven they come down again? What is the reason? Sorry for my bad english btw

[@TheElly110]

Every recipe has you add eggs, BUT they don't tell you , WHAT SIZE EGGS, the size makes a huge difference, I used jumbo eggs cause that's what I always use, And my puffs came out too wet, Should I be using small , large , or medium eggs ?, I'm hoping you answer me, if you don't I'm gonna use small eggs and cross my fingers.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@rebazi sorry I just saw this comment. I never got a notification. You can check out this link for some tips. cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/1136/how-do-i-prevent-cream-puff-shells-from-deflating

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@TheElly110 just saw this. When a recipe calls for eggs they are usually referring to standard Large eggs. I hope that helps.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@Ludy, Yes that can help at the end if you open the oven and let them cool slowly, sometimes if you take them right out of the oven they cool too quickly and can deflate.

@@inthekitchenwithmatt, Hi, Matt. Thanks for the quick reply. We made the pudding from scratch using real Hershey's cocoa, SUGAR, milk, etc. At times, we made vanilla pudding and used that to fill the cream puffs. I remember when we'd cut off the tops, I'd reach inside and eat the soft eggy stuff before we'd fill them. Great memories of a fun childhood cooking goodies and "eating well". Thanks again. :0) Donna B.

Everything came out perfect but once I added eggs it came too soft and a little running...can't pipe them. Could it be humidity?

mmm sorry just barely saw this comment. How did they wind up turning out? You know humidity does effect baking, I never have to worry about it because it is so dry here in Arizona. You could try adding one less egg, although that might effect how they puff up.

Hi matt! I made cream puffs they were great.. They rose so well But as soon as i got them out of oven, about a couple of seconds later they were flat... Can you tell me reason and guide me to them better... The taste was best though ❤️

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi there! So glad you gave them a try, the most common reason they go flat is there is still inner moisture in the cream puffs. Right when you take them out, you can pierce them with a bamboo skewer or toothpick which will let out any trapped steam. You can also bake them just a few minutes longer. :)

What part turned out runny? The actual cream puff batter/dough?

[@nortledorfus]

the recipe is coming out too watery!! I tried this before and it worked great. I'm doing all the same things, but too watery what am I doing wrong..I've tried three times now and each time the same disappointing results.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi Norman, mmm that is weird, mine never comes out watery. That is weird. Rule of thumb is equal parts water to flour. But if it keeps coming out watery, you can try reducing the amount of water by a few tablespoons and see if that helps. :)

[@nortledorfus]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt Well maybe that was the problem...I missed how much flour to use. I used one cup of flour to one half cup of water..the dough was great, but then I added the two eggs and it had too much liquid

[@nortledorfus]

the results were more flat and cookie-like than puffy eclairs...so I split them cookies up and filled with cream and call them "Muffipuds". I'll take them to the after thanksgiving feast at my sister's. always make lemonade out of lemons!
