Better late than never, right? Sorry folks, I really wanted to try this recipe, but unfortunately I ran out of time to do it justice. I've never made cream puffs before, the pastry has always been too intimidating.
I waited till the last possible moment to try, and then fortified myself with plenty of beer to get my spirits up to the challenge.
The results? Better than I thought it would be! Especially for a late night cooking experience for this early riser.
I didn't make the cream yet, or the chocolate topping. But I'm pretty happy with how puffs turned out (although a puff without cream, is just a ball of flour, really). Hopefully there will be time tomorrow morning to try the cream and make these babies shine.
Sorry for the funny lighting - it's getting late, and I'm getting sleepy. I assure you, they look much better off camera.

part one looks great! good luck finishing - you have a great start!
Looks great so far...make sure you fill them, though - that's the BEST part!
BTW the pastry is only the medium for the filling, the more the better.

It looks like you've started out well!
