    I was really scared to make these because I'm not a very good at baking BUT GUYS they were sooo good. I put custard in them and oml *chefs kiss* delicious. Definitely try this recipe if youre hesitating, I ended up using 2 and a half eggs instead of 3 and had to cook mine longer because my oven is trash. 10/10 would make again.

    Please note. When Choux pastry is removed from the oven, pierce the top of each with the tip of sharp knife or a bamboo skewer, to allow steam to escape. If you omit this step, the interior will be soggy. Make sure you allow them to cool completely before filling.

      nonsense, i was french trained and this tip is rubbish, they way they cool is the way they are supposed to be.
      they are supposed to moist in the middle, try learning the proper french way before thinking you know better, you know diddly squat.

    Hi there
    Thank you for the video! A comprehensive tutorial with troubleshoots....
    A month ago I made around 60 Pcs of Eclaires and were good.
    However, my enquiry is about the time of baking and the quality!
    1- The color was great, golden toasted, not very dry, but golden brown.
    2- Some of the trays I baked, the Eclaires collapsed and did not hold their shapes. Although I had them in the oven for around 40 minutes. But when I took them out and opened them, after they were cooled off, many of them were hollow and have like "trimmings" inside. You can say they were like 75% holloed!
    3- When I opened them to fill them up with Creme Patissiere, they were not hollowed in spite of the long baking time!
    My goal is to make an Eclaires that is 100% PUFFED and airy from inside!
    I will try your recipe for next time and I will see the results.
    Any suggestions?
    Mille Merci.

      Congratulation and thank you for trying this recipe its great to hear! This is a very useful one to know. So now that you know how to make Choux puffs, if you have not done it yet, impress your friends and family by serving homemade profiteroles. This is how it goes: cut your choux in half, put a ball of vanilla ice cream on the bottom part and then cover with the top half. Quantity is 3 puffs per person. Just before bringing the plates out, pour hot chocolate sauce on top on top of your choux puffs. its a winner everytime. Thanks again.

    Enchantée! Merci beaucoup!
    Questions: Could we make this with almond flour or coconut flour? Is there a natural sugar substitute?
    Are you using salted or unsalted butter?

    Hi Stephan, love your vids, easy to follow and fun. Can you tell me the brand of the pan you use to make the choux pastry, I am after one like it and can't find one. Thanks:)

    Made these today they came out perfect. Used my hand electric beater and just gauged how much to whizz whizz . You give the amounts on your page. All one has to do is watch and listen. Thank you very much one question how do I keep them crisp for the next day. Des Greyling.
