Cream puffs need to be thoroughly dried out or they will fall and be soggy. After making one batch of soggy puffs I did a little research in order to have success the second time around. When finished baking, poke a small hole in the side of the puff to let steam escape. Return to the oven for minutes with the door open to continue drying.

Mix until the dough is tacky and starts sticking to the side of the bowl and you're done - about min. Mixing in one egg at a time makes no difference in dough texture and only allows more time for your eggs to curdle in the hot liquid. I use a heaping tablespoon of dough for each, bake exactly 20 min and then poke a small hole with a toothpick in the side of each puff. No need to let it sit in the oven or it will dry out or leaving the oven door ajar while cooling. Just let the steam escape with a toothpick and cool.
Forget all the complicated posts on how to prevent deflation. I make this professionally for a bakery and my easy tips have never failed - try it. Don't grease your cookie sheet, or the bottoms will burn or get too brown. Also, add one teaspoon vanilla extract. This will help diminish with the 'eggy' taste. Good luck, and keep trying if you fail the first time. This should be a no-fail recipe.

To make the egg wash: In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg and water together until fully combined. Gently brush the top of each one with the egg wash. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the cream puffs are golden brown, making sure not to open the oven door as they are baking.

As seen in:. They were an important step on the road to today's cream puff. The mystery of the true history of puffs deepens thanks to the many terms used to describe puffed pastry. While the basic four ingredient recipe remains the same, how the ingredients are prepared and baked led to many names - choux, puff, profiterole, and buns. By the 17th century, the pastry recipe was commonly referred to as a choux recipe, because the buns it made resembled cabbages.
The French word for cabbage is choux. By the 19th century, the various types of puff pastries had developed their own following. Now each name took on distinctive meaning and characteristics.
The dessert known and loved as the cream puff became known in pastry circles as the profiterole. There was still some leeway in the creation of the dessert. What you ordered in one French restaurant called a profiterole might taste very different than a similarly named dessert in England.
By the mid 19th century in both France and England, the cream puff had become known as the profiterole. Often created in elaborate shapes by skilled pastry chefs, elegant Victorian diners could find cream puffs shaped like swans or pyramids of tiny, fragile chocolate or vanilla filled puffs to nibble on with the dessert wine, tea or coffee. In the United States, the first recorded mention of the cream puff on a restaurant menu dates to at the Revere House Restaurant in Boston.
The humble cream puff had come a long way from the kitchens of the 13the century as a cheese-filled pastry to the darling of the Victorian dining room. What was once the purview of royalty now became a bakery aisle staple. You can even buy frozen cream puffs at most supermarkets. There's even a chain of cream puff bakeries called Beard Papa's , with stores worldwide.
But nothing beats the taste of a home baked, fresh from the oven puff pastry filled with sweet cream.
