Cream Puffs

[@sketchelium]

I came here because of mashle and left knowing how to make creampuffs. Thanks for this recipe and the super clear instructions!

[@kubakaktus_]

SAME I just watched s1 of mashle and realised just how expensive cream puffs are to make

[@UBvtuber]

Yeah, your vid is gonna get a major boost from the Magic and Muscles anime lol

[@Blazerssss]

Absolutely. There is something about bakers.

[@Lee-vx5gc]

Tried this recipe and damn!!! It came out so successful. I always had a hard time coping with puffs as I think that they are hard to make and have to be really careful while making it. But this came out perfect and everyone is loving it.

[@ThePLongL]

For a crispier texture, you can try his recipe with bread flour instead. For the 4th egg, I would suggest you guys beating it up first and slowly add it and check if it's the right consistency, otherwise, you guys may come up with runny dough, which will collapse easier because of too much moisture. Thank you for your great recipe, John.

[@kerryannduncan948]

He's one of my favorite teachers. Very simple, clean and thorough with his information.

[@MultiProudMother]

My mom always made diplomat cream like that. If you’re too busy to cook a custard, You can follow the same principle with instant vanilla pudding. Instead of full milk quantity, cut the quantity of milk in half. You get that overthick custard like. Then fold in the whipped cream. Makes an amazing cake filling. Also works with chocolate pudding for a mousse hack.

[@mamasaidsew4843]

thanks for the tips. I don't always have all the time required to make every aspect from scratch. I appreciate this.

[@MrsElTee-o1w]

Hi John! Thanks for sharing your recipe. Your pastry cream recipe is my go-to recipe. Just learned the diplomat cream from this video too. Just want to share too that I made these cream puffs 3x. I couldn't use the first batch coz the bottoms were burnt. The second batch, I tried to adjust rack height, added parchment paper to silpat liner but some still ended up having the same issue. Finally, I researched online and found some great tips that I followed and I can tell you, they puffed bigger and bottoms were golden. So I want to share and hope these are useful tips for those who need them. 1. Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees F. 2. Once water/butter has come to a rolling boil, add flour immediately to avoid evaporation from messing up water to flour ratio. When I did this, I ended up just using 2 1/2 extra large eggs and used remainder of eggs for egg wash. Mix water/butter/flour mixture on medium heat to gelatinise starches until a uniform film covers the bottom of the pot. 3. Do not allow egg wash to dribble down the site and adhere to paper. It will impede expansion. 4. Into oven at 500 degrees F. Turn off oven immediately and leave in the oven for 15 minutes. Then without opening oven door, bake at 350 degrees F until puffed crispy on all sides.

His bloopers always kill me. My favorite was when the cakes fell off the rack. I died with laughter. I'm glad he doesn't leave them out. They add humor to the videos & set him apart from others on here.

[@janishernandez6419]

Hey, John. Love your videos. This one triggered a memory of my Aunt Mary (RIP). She was cook for a prominent Pittsburgh steel baron from 1915-1965. Each winter Aunt Mary accompanied the family to Palm Beach. There, she developed a recipe for her Palm beach cake. It was either made as an orange or lemon sponge (celebrating the fresh citrus of Florida) topped with a rich crème very much like your pastry cream with the whipped cream folded in. The crème was not only spread over the entire cake like a frosting, it also filled the ‘hole’ in the center of the cake. Aunt Mary used a trick to insure the crème would hold its shape. She would dissolve a tablespoon of unflavored Knox gelatin in a little warmed milk and add that to her crème while cooking. The same crème recipe was used in her choux pastries but without the gelatin. I have made the Palm Beach cake only for very special occasions because it is so rich but it is so delicious.

[@kirstenmartin7512]

Here before Mash, but Mash brought me back 💛 This has always been my favorite recipe 💛 it's so good that my ex had me make it for his girl bff when he was cheating on me with her 🤣 10/10 would recommend 😂👌🏻

[@TheROMaNProject]

Last week I was making multiple batches of pastry cream, trying to find the recipe that works best for me. I even made a batch of your “Ambassador Cream”… WOW! It tasted beyond lovely, and I likely will never make traditional pastry cream ever again. BTW, I stabilized the whipped cream with Knox’s gelatin but for a second batch I used ProGel, lightly dusting it on the cream surface as it was making soft peaks. Very soon it was making firm peaks and will keep without separating for at least 1-2 weeks. It also does a better job of maintaining the tiny air bubbles when blended with another product such as pastry cream, and doesn’t need to sit in a refrigerator for the gelatin to set.

[@honeybuhny]

This is a lovely recipe for cream puffs and it was my first try as well ! The puffs turned out so well and they were so delicious ! Do recommend this recipe, plus the cream is the best !! Thank you Preppy Kitchen for this amazing recipe ! (Also, if this is just my weird oven, let me know. When baking it at 425 F for 15 minutes, they were already baked fully golden, I didn’t need the extra time and drop of the temperature as instructed, so really just bake the cream puffs till golden brown !) Edit : To add, for easier storage, instead of making a cream puff sandwich, the puff is hollow in the middle and just use a toothpick to make a hole, then fill it up with cream ! It’s easier and less work too, hope you enjoy !

[@myguitartwerks7825]

My oven just scorched the ever living h**l out of the bottom of my cream puffs following this recipe. Just about set the parchment paper on fire too. Still salvageable and tasty. But DO NOT follow this recipe when it comes to baking this. All ovens are different. Visualizing is key.

[@williamhodgson9197]

Made these today with a lot of trepidation. Choux pastry is something I have always shied away from but thought I'd give it another try. It worked this time the tops more browned than I would have liked. The pastry cream is absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for giving me confidence to try again.😊

Ok, so I just made this cream puffs, and I can tell you guys it’s definitely fool proof! I have to make a new batch of choux pastry because I added 4 eggs and it turned out to be so runny! But, guys, the taste and the texture of my puffs turned out so good. You have to try this. Thanks man! ♥️

I made these for christmas and the pastry cream was a stand out. Personally I used the pastry cream by itself (i don't think anyone here in belgium would choose diplomat cream over pastry cream) and it tasted exactly what you'd buy in a professional bakery here. The puffs themselves turned out okay, but got really dark before they were crisp enough to hold their shape outside the oven. I think it might just be my oven's doing or that I made the puffs quite small, so I'll have to experiment a little more before I can make those perfectly. Lovely recipe!!
