Impressive, but surprisingly simple to make. A classic puff recipe with a delicious variation in the filling for your fall and winter table.
Thank you for such a lovely recipe! I made the cream puffs with another recipe I used previously for strawberry cream puffs but the pumpkin filling was a roaring success at my sister’s birthday party!
These were very DELICIOUS! They could use a little more sugar. Other than that perfect.
I have made cream puffs for years and used a recipe just like this. I use a smaller amount of dough for each puff and it makes 24-25. I bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes then let cool completely.
