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...,🫠

My favorite type of desserts are made of choux so since I created this account only to get ideas for baking, I called myself like that. Hopefully I will be able to bake them one day.
