Cream Puff Day Again

February 15, 2010 By Carole

You may know yesterday as Valentine’s Day but if you’ve been around this blog a while then you know, in our house, it’s Cream Puff Day. You can read the whole story here.

Luckily I was feeling a bit energized yesterday and was able to whip up 2 batches of the little devils in the morning. That’s one batch for us (which really means Dale) and one batch for his dad.

Normally Dale is not one for over-the-top stuff. When we eat chips ‘n dip he puts very little dip on his chip. Cheese ‘n crackers is always a small smear of cheese for him. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have so little peanut butter I don’t think they should even be legal. But cream puffs? When it comes to cream puffs he is always urging me to stuff in more cream.  He has said for years that cream puffs are really just an excuse to eat whipped cream.

And he did. And it was good. Happy Cream Puff Day!

    What a lovely tradition and creampuffs. My mom made them when I was little – big ones!. She filled hers with vanilla pudding, conf sugar sprinkled on top. When I grew up, I filled mine with chocolate pudding – choc lover, me! Then we started filling them with chicken, cheese and ham salads for showers, wedding receptions, etc. (I made 300 for a friend’s reception, we ran out). No one can eat just one, can they? Have to ask, do you use a wooden spoon to mix them?
    Enjoy. Do they freeze filled?

    Now THAT is a tradition much of my family would approve of. What a sweet story, and how good of you to continue the tradition.

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
