I enjoyed the food science aspect of your video, but your German pronunciation needs some Übung.

[Najamalatoff]

@misenmisplace Yeah, I'm not German and I don't speak it much but thanks!

NIce video! My experience (years):I never have bothered to let the panade cool at all before adding the eggs nor transfer to another bowl nor have I ever bothered to beat the panade with anything but a wooden spoon & they always puff a lot and come out really good. Made it like this because years ago nobody told me to let cool or use a mixer, so I wasnt trying to be contrary, that's just how it happened. Also, I suggest a 1 cup flour recipe; the half cup just isn't enough! they taste so good!

@rustydog1236 Wow, that's interesting! This is a great example of scientific fact versus actual kitchen trial and error. As I've discussed in the video, there are reasons why I do what I do to make these cream puffs and I encourage it so first timers are successful at it! However there is no exact wrong or right way, which is why with your experience you were able to make your method work as well! Thanks for sharing your input!

@unsureofthis67 That's fantastic! I'm glad I could help :)

You have made my understanding of this method so freeing and 'un-perplexing'. All the chemistry and explanations were exactly what I was looking for and appreciate, because once I understand those things, everything else is easier.
