cream puffs, cannolis, lobster tails
The French are known for their pastries, wines and cheeses. Eclairs are a pastry with a custard filling and chocolate frosting. Cream puffs or profiterole are a light pastry with pastry cream. The French have many cheeses like Brie that are soft and often baked with a pastry crust. Other French cheeses are blue, Roquefort, Boursin, camembert, Neufchâtel (which is what is used to make cheesecake) and Emmental.
Profiteroles are cream puffs made from choux pastry and cream (ice cream or whipped cream). To make it, one usually makes a hole inside choux paste which is then baked to form big hollow puffs. The puffs will be filled with cream by injecting or slicing and reassembling.
Defiantly get either the Chocolate Cream Puffs or the Lobster Tails.

No. Eclairs are made from choux pastry. Choux pastry involves cooking flour,butter and water, then adding egg. The egg acts as a leavening agent in a choux pastry. A puff pastry uses layers of butter or other solid fat between a bread type dough that puffs up due to air and water expansion between layers of fat and dough for leavening, it does not contain egg.
Leavening is the ingredient/process that allows the cream puff to rise and allows the volume to increase. The leavening in cream puffs, which are made from choux pastry, is egg white.
Pate a choux or choux paste is used for making pastries such as eclairs or small balls of pastry which look like little cabbages (choux in french)
You're thinking of profiteroles -- yes, these are French, made of choux pastry and filled with cream.
puffs are baked puffs of cream puff dough that are hollow usually filled with whipped cream or cooked puffs. The structure of the puff causes it to ooze fat when touched.
I would use Crisco instead. With it your pastry will be good.
