Not to brag, but...

I totally figured out the secret to making cream puffs. Just look at these bad boys!

Maybe a little burnt, but definitely puffy

Even they are excited for me! Or maybe they just look like T-Rex heads

The secret, as I suspected, has to do with boiling the water butter mixture. It starts to fizz/froth up, which was the cue for baking magic to happen. I still need to get better and shaping these. the first few blobs happens because I tried to pipe them, but cut too big of a hole in my piping bag. Oops. 


Oh well, I get to try again tomorrow, and they'll be even better! I'll be making them for a professor in lieu of a paper... definitely a good trade.
