This are great. I couldn't find my recipe for my cream puff so I looked on ZAAR and found this. Thanks for the posting.

This is a great recipe! We made it once just for fun and really liked it. We also made it this year for Easter. I think we will stick with this recipe for a while. We did lower the constarch and added a little more milk to make the filling creamier but everything else was excellent. Thanks.
