Cream puff pastries
Description
This recipe yields very light and airy choux pastry that bakes quickly. Making choux buns at home is pure pleasure! You can fill them with jam, condensed milk, whipped cream, or even savory fillings (such as cheese, mushrooms, chicken, or combined ingredients). Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
