    First time making this and they came out beautifully. They truly serve 30 or more if you decide to make smaller. But the filling was a bit too bland for my taste so I added more of the vanilla extract and sugar (to taste, I added a pinch of cinnamon, a bit of orange zest and thinly chopped pineapple (because i saw that we had pineapples. At the end I sprinkled powder sugar ;It tastes pretty damn good now.

    It took me two tries to get this recipe right. The first time they didn't rise and I realized that I didn't have enough egg (Gale states that the egg steams and that is what causes them to rise This time I used 4 extra large eggs and the result was perfect! I put a little extra sugar and a little vanilla to give it some flavor, used her whipped cream filling and then dipped them in a chocolate ganache. I will come back to this recipe time and again for a crowd pleaser!

    Maybe you should try cooking them longer. I had trouble the first time, but you have to make sure you have the oven at 425 , this causes them to "puff" after that turn them down, they should stay up. Different ovens heat differently and so on for instance, I have to cook mine 7 minutes on 425 and 11 on the 350. Other than that, you should maybe double check you did everything corectly and in the correct order. Also, try adding one less egg, or a little water. As far as taste goes, they are supposed to taste bland, that is what the filling is for!!!! Hope these ideas helped some of you.

    I have had no problem with these the half dozen times I have made them. I skip the egg wash step though. I use powdered sugar to top them off and the egg wash can effect the rising of them. Skip it and you'll never notice.

    I have tried this recipe 3 times. They did not rise well. I used pudding for the filling and used heavy cream instead of milk. YUM. I have used nonstick foil maybe that is the problem?
