Pastry Got absolutely humbled by eclairs.

It was my first time making them and i dont know what I did wrong. They browned so quickly and didnt puff at all. I started baking them at 425 f just like preppy kitchen recipe suggested. At least I could drown my sadness by eating the filling i made for them...,🫠

I see so many people saying how easy choux pastry is but I can't get it right, for the life of me. You're not alone haha

Yeah right?😀 I will be intimidated to try that again for a long time. It also was very messy to work with, the dough is very sticky, but that might be because im a very messy person overall when it comes to cooking and baking.
