Perfecto

The Larousse Gastronomique recipe worked just fine. The fluted pastry nozzle works much better than the plain one when it comes to loft and shape. Delicious with strawberry preserves and sweetened cream cheese:



Feeding creampuffs to rednecks is good for at least ten minutes of entertainment. They can neither admit to liking them, nor stop eating them. If only all forbidden pleasures could be packaged so attractively.

I think pretty much all professional bakers go by weight, and I suspect most use metric. When you're making hundreds of something, intuition doesn't work very well! Also, measuring by volume is frightfully inaccurate.

If I run out of puffs before filling, or vice versa, that's a lot of work and money down the drain. By weighing sample items, I can get them to match exactly.
