Faith-based baking

I've decided to make pâte à choux for the tea party Sunday. I've got about five minutes before I know whether this batch is doing what it ought. (I've made it twice before, and the batter behaves differently each time.) You can't peek without ruining them.

They're gluten-free, and when filled with whipped cream, they become cream puffs. Yum. semy_of_pearls may want to half-dip some in chocolate, too, though I don't really care one way or the other.

Out they came, medium-brown, shiny little balloons. I pricked them (twice, the holes seemed to seal up after a moment) and admired them. They aren't perfectly round, they never are, but who cares? They're cream puff shells we can all eat. Now more are in the oven, and I need to get my hands all sticky again for the round after that.

I need to learn to have more faith.
