History

Cream puffs, known as choux à la crème in French, have a rich history dating back to the 16th century. They originated in France, where the dough was first created by Chef Pantarelli. The technique of making cream puffs quickly spread across Europe and eventually to America, where many home cooks, like Mom, adapted the recipe to their taste. This particular recipe has been passed down in our family, treasured for its simplicity and indulgent flavor.
