### **Tips for the Perfect Cream Puffs**
1. **Don’t Skip the Resting Time for the Dough:** After adding the eggs, let the dough rest for a minute or two before piping it. This will ensure a smooth texture and help the puffs rise evenly.
2. **Check Your Oven Temperature:** Choux pastry is sensitive to oven temperature. If your oven is too hot or too cold, the puffs may not rise properly. A steady 400°F is ideal.
3. **Make Ahead:** You can make the pastry shells a day in advance and store them in an airtight container. Just fill them with cream right before serving to keep them fresh.
4. **Variations:** While the classic whipped cream filling is a family favorite, you can also fill these cream puffs with custard, pastry cream, or chocolate mousse for a different twist.
