Easy Big Cream Puffs
This simple and easy to succeed. The recipe is the result of many successive trial and errors. It's my version of big cream puffs.
*If you don't keep the batter warm until placing the batter in the oven, it will fail.
*If they don't bake very well at the beginning at 200℃, it's possible that your oven isn't heated up enough, so raise the temperature to 220℃. The oven temperature varies so adjust the baking time according to your oven. For 3 big puffs. Recipe by Kantande oishiigasuki

Cooking Instructions
- 1
*If you use a normal oven, you can bake 9 puffs at once. *The ingredients call for 1 egg but you can increase the amount accordingly.
- 2
*You can use whatever oil you like. Vegetable oil makes them light, while butter is a bit on the heavy side. Margarine is right in the middle. The puffs in the picture were baked with butter.
- 3
(Prep) Preheat the oven to 220℃.
- 4
(Prep) Beat the egg well.
- 5
(Prep) Sift the flour. *In the photo, the flour was not sifted.
- 6
Add butter and water to a pan and bring to a boil.
- 7
Lower the heat in Step 6 and add flour. Mix well.
- 8
Raise the heat to high and mix. When it comes together, lower to medium heat and use a wooden spatula to knead. *The stickiness and consistency should resemble mochi (this is important).
- 9
Lower the heat from Step 8 and add the egg a little at a time, mix well. *It will become glazed and thick like custard cream.
- 10
While it's hot, pour into a piping bag and squeeze onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. *If the batter cools before placing in the oven, it's going to fail.
- 11
Using a toothpick, poke holes into the surface of the squeezed out batter. This will create the broken look when the puffs swell during baking.
- 12
Right before you place in the oven, spray water.
- 13
Bake in a 200℃ oven for 20 minutes. Lower the temperature to 180℃ and bake for 15 minutes. *Oven times and temperatures vary.
- 14
If you don't bake completely or take them out of the oven too soon, they'll deflate. *If you're worried, leave in the oven for 10 minutes before removing.

Here are some hints for better results: 1) While mixing the batter, make sure it thickens into a heavy consistency by completely heating the flour. 2) Make sure to poke holes in the batter after squeezing them out onto the pan.
- 18
3) Bake while the batter is still hot. 4) Don't lower the temperature under 200℃ at the beginning when baking. 5) For the first 20 minutes, don't lower the temperature under 200℃.
- 19
6) If you don't bake through completely and remove from the oven too soon, they will deflate. 7) If they don't expand as much as you thought, there may be a problem with the temperature.

8) They begin to puff about 10 or 20 minutes into baking so pay attention to the temperature. After that, they are almost done.

Easy Cream Puffs for the Lazy Easy Cream Puffs for the Lazy
I wondered if I could cut corners and still make cream puffs. So I cut out as many steps as possible to make cream puffs that still were like properly made ones.*The puffs won't turn out if the batter isn't warm before being putting in the oven.*If your batter doesn't cook properly starting in a 200°C oven, your oven may actually be cooler than the indicated temperature, so try starting at 220°C. Baking times and temperatures will vary depending on your oven, so please make a note of that. For 3 large cream puffs. Recipe by Kantande oishiigasuki -

Basic Cream Puff Batter Basic Cream Puff Batter
Fluffy with a touch of crispiness. I came up with this recipe for my favorite type of cream puff.Typically, this batter is made in a pot, but I prefer to use a large, deep bowl, since it's easier without edges. I previously used a microwave to prepare the batter, but I revised the recipe since there was a risk that the batter would cool while waiting for the oven to preheat. If the batter cools before baking, it will not rise well. If you are aiming for a fluffy texture, use water only, and no milk. If you prefer a crisp texture, use milk only. Recipe by Yukiline -

100% Foolproof Cream Puffs 100% Foolproof Cream Puffs
I practiced making cream puffs for 3 years. I've compiled what I've learned along the way, with some helpful tips.・Although the amount of egg required is often discussed, I tend to overlook the part about cooking out all the extra moisture in the batter. To be honest, the amount of moisture in the batter is more important than the amount of egg.・Instead of misting the cream puffs with water before putting them in the oven, you can use a brush or finger dipped in water instead.
