Puffs for my Prof.

I'm obsessed.

Today is the day I have the last meeting for my hastily thrown together independent study, for which my Prof. has decided not to give me a final paper (just in time! I can't even write one paper, let alone two. In other news,  research papers drive me crazy.)


Anyway, in lieu of a paper, I made cream puffs for my Professor. This time I used a different recipe, because I wanted them to look like this:

For some reason my puffs just don't puff that much. 

However, this recipe calls for about twice the butter as the other recipe I used.

AKA they are so crunchy and SO GOOD.

I used a syringe with the tip cut off to fill them, because I do not have any fancy pastry filling tools.

Here's the Nutella Syringe. It got overwhelmed near the end and the plunger broke off.

Here is my triumphant batch of puffs, full of Nutella
There is no pretty way to fill a pastry, apparently. 

In conclusion, I love making cream puffs. I just need to figure out how to make them puffier!
