How To Make Eclairs

• For the pastry
• 200ml water ½ teaspoon salt
• 125mg butter
• 200g flour
• 5 eggs
• ½ teaspoon salt
• For the filling
• 500ml crème patisserie
• 200g sugar
• 5g of sugar with vanilla flavor or vanilla bean
• For the glaze
• 150g dark chocolate
• 50g butter

Directions

1. 1

   In a pot on medium heat cook the water, butter and the salt until boiling then add the flour, mix it for 1 min andyou will get homogeneous dough that separates from the pot. Leave it to cool.

2. 2

   While the dough is cooling prepare the filling. Mix the crème patisserie, the sugar and the vanilla with a mixer then leave it in a fridge.

3. 3

   When cooled put the eggs one by one into the dough mixing the dough between putting each egg (don’t put the eggs all at once).

4. 4

   On a big baking pan put baking paper. With a spoon make not smooth balls from the dough and put them into the pan but leave a space between them because they will grow up during baking.

5. 5

   Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 25-30 min and leave them to cool inside.

6. 6

   For the chocolate glaze melt the chocolate and the butter on medium heat.

7. 7

   When all is done all you need to do is cut the eclairs on half fill them with the filling and put the glaze on top. Delicious.

8. 8

   The secret to this recipe is not to open the oven while baking and cooling the eclairs because they will not grow.
