It even has the note/tip about using a fine-mesh sieve, if necessary. Only change I made is to leave out the pinch of salt since I didn’t have unsalted butter, just salted butter. This site also has some other really yummy recipes, of which I’m going to try the Irish Brown (Soda) Bread next week!

I actually did freeze the cream puffs and eclairs after baking, and my husband has been enjoying the cream puffs as the occasional dessert :) I cannot attest to the re-crisping in the oven, because we usually just pop them in the microwave for 15 seconds to thaw them a bit, but they taste great!

I was wondering if you had tried freezing any of the cream puffs after baking? They say you can re-crisp them after, but some people seem to think that doesn't work.. Some people suggest freezing before baking. Thanks! Hi, I love your blog! I was wondering if you had tried freezing any of the cream puffs after baking?

I use one of the jumbo star-shaped tips for big cream puffs. Technically I guess you don't really need a tip -- just cut the end of the disposable bag to the right size and the opening will be your tip.
