Bake the Cream Puffs
Drop the dough by tablespoons into 6 equal portions. Bake on a parchment lined baking tray at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes until nicely golden brown.
Make a small slit in each cream puffs after removing from the oven to allow steam to escape. Let cool.
Cut in half and remove any soft dough remaining inside.
