Cream Puffs

I remember making them with my mom when I was a kid and they always had hollow chambers inside. The ones I made recently were't hollow. Any ideas why :pupeyes: ?

I used to make them with my mom also and I have also done them by myself. Not sure what could cause that unless maybe you put a little too much of something??? Maybe too much flour?
it never even dawned on me to make my own cream puffs. *drool drool drool*
I make both cream puffs and eclairs. It might be a couple of things. The reason choux pastry bakes hollow is because of a mixture of air pockets from the mixing process, and internal steam (moisture from eggs plus oven heat). My best guess is that you may have undermixed the dough, or, possibly your oven wasn't hot enough. Other than that, not sure what could have caused it not to hollow out.

But it sure is worth trying again.... :)

It sure is. Nothing like cream puffs from scratch.
Tlhanks, everyone. I made them again with my 8 year old grandson and, once again, they looked more like bagels. But, between him and his brother and sister, they disappeard fast!
