Yep, I make cream puffs a lot, and this is the recipe I have worked out too. Exactly the same including temps.The baking sheet helps too. Edited to say I usually beat the lastegg separately and add a bit at a time sometimes I don't use quite all of the fourth egg. Makes about 15

Yes that is right. It is a large mixture. they freeze very well. If you get I pencil and draw the number 2 about 10 cm high, imagining a swans neck, that is what you have. Pipe a thin no. 2 on your tray starting at the bottom, so you can get a nice "head'. you will after a few goes have it sorted. They do not take long to cook maybe 10/15 minutes. These can be used in both the puffs and eclaires. You will work it out. great for the little ones. Good luck, enjoy.PS*** great dessert filled with custard, cream, [even broken glass, less fat]fruit , chocolate sauce, make those a little larger.
You can add cheese to the mix, bit of paprika and some crumbled crispy bacon and they make yum snacks. Doesn't always have to be sugary stuff.
