Making cream puffs?????

Answer 2

I like my flat baking sheets with a layer of air between the metal (forgot what they're called).  I make them all the time, and they're never burnt.  Maybe your oven isn't calibrated right.  Get a cheap oven thermometer (about $2) while you're at the store, and keep it in the oven.  Also, make sure that they're on the middle rack (not the bottom) ...

Why not try a different recipie? Get some tips from this! :)

CREAM PUFF DESSERT  

Boil together 1 stick butter and 1 cup water. Add 1 cup flour. Mix well. Cool slightly. Stir in 4 eggs, one at a time. Mix well and spread into 9 x 13 inch greased pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool completely. Makes a pretty crust.

DESSERT:

Take 1 large box vanilla instant pudding. Add 3 cups milk and 18 ounce package softened cream cheese. Mix together with a wire whip so lumps disappear. Pour into cream puff crust. Spread 8 ounces Cool Whip on top of pudding and drizzle Hershey's syrup on top. Refrigerate. Keeps very well for days. The cream cheese gives the pudding a different, good taste.

Answer 4

Try raising your oven rack up a notch, keeping the puffs away from the bottom element.  This should help.  You can also line the sheet with parchment.  I bought "air" cookie sheets and nothing ever burns on those things.
