Also there's that thing about looks not being important; it's what's inside that counts. Granted that's meant for people, not food, but I think it can work either way. ;)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14512165377482951306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29824813.post-90982280611427771652010-10-04T19:58:56.798-05:002010-10-04T19:58:56.798-05:00Wasn't it Julia who said "Never apologize...Wasn't it Julia who said "Never apologize?"

Have you calibrated your oven recently? It looks to me that your oven got too cool after turning it down. Or, you might be in a humid area? If so, you could try this one one less egg. But they tasted great, right?

I did that with one of the batches I baked from the freezer, and they rose and then fell and didn't have the right texture inside. I bet they were still yummy but I want you to be able to enjoy how luscious they are! But maybe you should wait until the upstairs cooktop is REALLY fixed (bummer that you're having so many problems with it!)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185657147547217295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29824813.post-10372973675463829462010-10-01T14:46:25.032-05:002010-10-01T14:46:25.032-05:00Aaaah, nothing worse than stove and/or oven proble...Aaaah, nothing worse than stove and/or oven problems!

We would eat them with a hot barley drink. I'm sure that the lack of puffiness did not affect the flavor of your gougeres since they still look so golden and yummy.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814360396897839625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29824813.post-15911974388113008522010-10-01T14:40:39.444-05:002010-10-01T14:40:39.444-05:00I really want this cookbook, and seeing everyone&#...I really want this cookbook, and seeing everyone's posts is going to make me want it even more!!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741861711308777389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29824813.post-69421216144710060542010-10-01T14:09:20.929-05:002010-10-01T14:09:20.929-05:00I'm sorry yours didn't turn out puffier.
