Cream Puffs

My 1st attempt at cream puffs. Guess I will be making more till I got the type of cream I want. Next time I am going to pipe the cream into the puffs. First batch went flat after it was out from the oven and I found out that it was because I did not bake it long enough. I wonder why the recipe stated that we shud keep the oven door ajar after 7 mins of baking.
It is fun to make the puffs.
The recipe (how I made it)
Puff dough
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup water
125g unsalted butter cut into pieces
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup rose flour
5 large eggs, at room temperature
1. Bring the milk, water, butter, sugar and salt to the boil in a pot
2. Add flour once mixture is boiling and continue stirring with wooden spoon. The dough will come together
3. Transfer the dough into a mixing bowl and add the eggs gradually 1 at a time
4. Pour into piping bag and pipe out the shape as desire (remember to pipe into baking sheet or parchment to avoid it sticking to the tray or pan)
5. Bake at 190C for aproximately 15 - 20mins (till it is brown). I did not let the oven door ajar like stated in the recipe... (mayb this is the reason why my 1st batch went flat).
Cream
1. Follow the recipe ( I did not do anything different)
