Cream Puffs
by:
Cream puffs may be the mast delightful af all cream puff pastry desserts because they're filled with whipped cream instead of something heavier like pastry cream. Cream puffs are at their best when baked shortly before serving and filled at the last minute so they don't have time to get soggy. If your pastry bag isn't big enough, you may have to pipe out the cream puffs in two stages.
