A classic French dessert, Cream Puffs are surprisingly easy to make ​​from scratch. You’ll love the crispy hollow shells made from choux pastry filled with homemade pastry cream! Perfect for special holidays, afternoon teas, or just as a fun baking project. These are one of my all time favorites and if you’ve never had a freshly made one you are definitely missing out!

  1. My mother used to make cream puffs whenever we had bake sales at my high school. She never did the poke the holes, but let them dry out in the oven. Unlike your incredibly pastry cream filling, Mom cheated and used vanilla pudding (which isn't as good).

  2. The temperature he is referring for each recipe is the same for all otg or will it differ please reply.In India we will be consider doing recipes with degree celsius

  3. Just in time. I need to make these at work and the way you teach these techniques has given me the confidence to do it! On a side note…what knife are you using to slice the puffs with. It seemed to slice so cleanly. Thank you! 😊

  4. I just seen the ep of chopped sweets where you judge tasting tarantula 😅 just out of curiosity would you ever make a video possibly using an insect like crickets? I have tried them myself and they are surprisingly tasty like the taste of sunflower seeds, in my opinion. I would be interested in what you can make from an unusual type of ingredient 🤔 BTW big fan 🫶

  5. I use a saucier to make creams and sauces that require attention – works much better than a straight sided saucepan.

  6. ❤ I love John's sound and enjoy his recipes. Cream puffs are one of my faves. Im going to try making them.
    Only thing that bothers me a lot…pots need serious scrubbing on the out side. Have your help scrubbing them from time to time.😊.

  7. Hi John ☂️
    As you whisk the ingredients of sugar , salt, corn starch… the dust around the bowl… makes you look as a magician 🎉🔝🎶🎵🎶
    Thank you for your good work. Thanks to you every Friday we have pizza , my husband makes your fantastic recipe for pizza dough and all of our friends ask the recipe…
    You are amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Thank you ☂️

  8. i've followed your recipe twice now for eclairs. the choux & creme pat were amazing (my piping skills were trash 😅) but we still gobbled em up. lol i have both of your cookbooks but i'd love one for just baking/desserts. hopefully it's in the works. 🤞🏽

  9. Same dough for Italian zeppole di san Giuseppe. Make some for us the fried ones as they are truly what is traditional. Although, they can be baked but they aren’t the same. It’s for the feast of Saint Joseph of March 19th each year.

  10. I have frozen my unfilled chou pastry and it works perfectly. Great make ahead. I do this a lot. They are great filled with ice cream in the summer and you can add fresh strawberries or other fruit, chocolate sauce. Lots of easy choices with different ice creams or sorbets. I freeze them in a Tupperware with a lid and they can last a few months ready for your choice of fast cool dessert. Mel.

  11. I have attempt some of your recipes. Last time I did the lemon blueberry cake with your buttercream cream cheese version and just one suggestion, please please cut the sugar in that recipe by half, the buttercream will be way to sweet, I cut the 30% of the sugar you added and it was still very sweet. This puff recipe though looks very delicious, I can't wait to try it 😋.
