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.
Most cream puffs do not use a leavening agent. The "shell" or "crust" of the original cream puff uses plain flour and salt, similar to a pie crust. You generally do not want to use a leavening agent as you don't want the shell to "rise".
The "average" cream puff (if there is such a thing) has about 300 calories in it.
Puff pastry, or puff dough, uses steam for its leavening. As the dough bakes, the water in the layers turns to steam, causing the layers to expand and create a light, airy texture. The multiple layers of butter and dough are rolled and folded to create a flaky structure, which is essential for the puffing effect during baking. Unlike other pastries, puff pastry does not rely on yeast or baking powder for leavening.

Laminated doughs, such as those used for Croissants and Danish pastries contain yeast to aid leavening. Puff pastry does not contain yeast.

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.

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.
You can use several different leavening agents for biscuits such as baking soda. Another option is active dry yeast.
