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.

I agree. I just found John today, and now I'm binging his vids. I love how he's human in everything and doesn't hide the mistakes. Makes me feel as though "I have found my people."

[@marystrope1345]

@@dcmc7383 Have you watched his video on English toffee? Perfect for the holidays!

[@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.

[@swintsdeco6109]

I would LOVE to see John on TV. He is such an amzing person and he deserves to have every one watching and learning from him ♥️

My mom loves these! Thanks for sharing this recipe! I made this for her yesterday and it turned out delicious! ❤️

3 million is still too low for a person who is funny, kind and wholesome. He should have about 10 million.

[@eeeeeeelemons]

Your videos are so fun. To be honest, I don’t even plan on doing almost any of these recipes, but you’re such a fun person. It’s hard to find myself smiling so much after watching a video that’s meant to be educational, but with your videos, I’m always smiling by the end.

[@jasonle2422]

I want to thank you for your recipe. My sister is loving them so much, and myself - I am falling in love from the cream to the choux . And I can not wait to share them with my yoga community today. Thanks a lot, John and we all adore your charisma. Keep blooming your love for the art of culinary. Namaste!

[@sunlight947]

Hi John! I like your humor and your ‘cool’ and fun way of talking/teaching! Its such a delight to see you work and talk. You seem to enjoy baking so much that you make difficult stuff sound so easy and that is very inspiring and help us try these recipes with similar interest and cool mindedness.

[@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.

[@Kosmos2080]

Yo even with weeks apart your energy and positivity for the food shines through. You sir are a true professional well done :)

[@lorenlash9174]

This is the second time I've made this recipe and the diplomat cream is where it's AT! But my husband likes the pastry cream so I split it and then gift the leftovers to the neighbors. Excellent instructions, thank you, John!

[@bulutuygun5147]

Best choux recipe ever, works perfectly! I did exactly what he said and the result was perfect! So delicious and very easy to follow.

[@NotContinuum]

John: Pastry cream is one of my favorite things to eat. Me: We've been over this. Everything is your favorite thing to eat.

[@mariasibi7698]

Lol, that's actually so true.

[@ciannarenfrow4203]

I just made the pastry cream for the first time and it turned out perfect! A little more custardy than I expected but nevertheless still very delicious. Gonna make the choux tomorrow. This was the perfect relaxing break to take my mind off all the homework i have due tomorrow. This is my first time making cream puffs (or any choux-related pastry for that matter) and also my first time making one of your recipes. So excited to see how it turns out!

[@catcolson3686]

Made these yesterday. The diplomatic crepe was amazing - they came out great! Thank you!

[@dyazkiprit]

every single of his kitchenware is beautiful, and the kitchen is very well organised.

[@lizatrammell1]

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.

[@juliemarkijohn2027]

I like to add a little bit of nutmeg in my filling! So yummy! Usually I fill with pudding. Thank you John I will definitely try your filling!

[@gmehz9605]

John I have never tried your recipes but I always watch them they are amazing..will definitely give these cream puffs a try. You are a great teacher!

[@dh.48630]

i love his energy omg

[@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.

[@Bluey1252]

I was just trying to look for a cream puff recipe yesterday! A lifesaver as always btw I tried your vanilla cake with your Italian buttercream recipe and everyone absolutely loved it!

[@heatherzurcher4663]

love his videos. can't get enough and he explains everything so well and so down to earth, that you feel like you are talking to a friend. mistakes and all. by the way the pastry cream is so good, i probably gained 5 lbs eating it! seriously yum!

[@honeybunrandoms]

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 !

[@teresadoyle1396]

These looks SO good! The first time I ever had them was 40+ yrs ago. My sister made them and they were like nothing I ever had before. I’ll have to share this recipe with her, maybe she’ll make them for me now...??? 🤣 Stay well John!

[@matildebruneel7867]

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!!
