Tips
For more fluffiness, you can replace half the water with milk. If your dough is too runny, place the filled bag in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This recipe can also be made in a savory version, by simply removing the sugar. And to get delicious homemade chouquettes, sprinkle your puffs with granulated sugar before cooking!
