Hmmm, windebeutel. great.


I have made these before!!!!! Tastie


It's been A WHILE since I made these.. they are very good!


These sound delicious, and really easy! I think I'll try to make them for Christmas.


I have neve made these before..look good and easy too~


OMG!!! Such a cool recipe! These are so good and so easy! I made them exactly as written. They are just like the dessert type except their cheese flavored! So light and fluffy! I think I'll make these and fill them with a crab dip and serve them as an horderves at my next party! I added my photo!

Can this recipe be quadrupled?

BTW...this made 26 cheese puffs.



Where have I been? Under a rock? Never even heard of these - let alone made em! Seem easy enough. One question: When you add the egg, do you take the pan off the heat for a while so as not to "scramble" it?


This puff pastry has a French name, Pate A Choux. You can be creative with the flavorings. YES! Do let the dough cool a little before adding the egg. The resultant dough should have a sheen along with soft peaks when tested.

Half teaspoon, teaspoon, tablespoon or piped out with a pastry bag are all options. The basic puff pastry is used to make filled eclairs.


Looks easy enough for my skills.


Can't wait to make these and fill them with something like Lillian suggested! Way cool, Pleclare!

you can also use kitchen scissors, cut off the top of the puffs and fill them with cream cheese flavoured with herbs, spices, chopped salmon...
