Polish Ptysie Cream Puffs Recipe That Will Make Your Mouth Water! (2024)

FAQs

Why are my cream puffs doughy inside? ›

First, the dough is too wet and runny. The dough needs enough flour to give it structure to properly rise and hollow out. The solution is to use enough flour so that the dough is thick enough. Second, your cream puffs or choux pastries may not hollow out because the baking temperature is too low to start.

If the oven is too cool, they won't rise and hollow out. After 15 minutes, lower the temp to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prevent burning during the remaining 25 minutes.

Cream puffs, or profiteroles, are French choux pastry balls filled with cream.

If your batter ended up being too runny, possibly you have added a little too much eggs. To fix this, cook a paste using roughly half the choux recipe (water, milk, flour, butter similar to how you started).

There are multiple reasons why cream puffs may deflate. The first cause is undercooking. When preparing dough on the stovetop, be sure to keep cooking and stirring until a film forms on the bottom of the saucepan. Another cause of flat cream puffs is lowering the temperature during baking.

If you've used too many eggs in your pastry dough, water in the egg yolk will start to separate from the yolk. Once the pastry is baking in the oven, this water then evaporates, causing the structure of the pastry to tighten up and shrink. The dough is too thick to pipe.

Do unfilled cream puffs need to be refrigerated? No - they should be kept in an airtight container. Once filled, (with cream) they need to be kept in the the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them. If kept, filled, in the fridge, they will go soft.

Potential reasons for each fault include insufficient cooling, eggs added too quickly, not beating the mixture enough, incorrect baking temperature or time, insufficient baking, and allowing the liquid to cool too much before adding flour.

When baking Puff Pastry, note that it's done when it's golden and puffy, not wet and doughy. Use the baking time in the recipe as a guideline, and rely on your eyes as well.
