Homemade eclairs with custard are much tastier than store-bought ones - airy and tender pastries with lots of delicate cream and delicious chocolate glaze. And they are easy and simple to prepare! Ingredients (for 24 servings) dough: Butter - 100 g Water - 250 ml Flour - 150 g (1 cup with a volume of 250 ml) Eggs - 4 pcs. (I have size M eggs) Salt - 0.5 tsp Sugar - 1 tsp Cream: Sugar - 180 g Egg - 1 pc. Flour - 1 tbsp Milk - 200 ml Vanilla sugar - 1 tsp Butter 82.5% - 200 g Glaze: Melted dark chocolate - 160 g Softened butter - 120 g Melted milk chocolate - 30 g Prepare choux pastry. Pour water into a saucepan. Add salt, sugar and butter. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil. As soon as the mixture starts to boil, remove from heat. Add flour and mix well until smooth. Return the saucepan to the heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. The dough should form a smooth ball, and a thin whitish film will appear at the bottom of the saucepan. Remove the saucepan from heat. Transfer the dough to a clean bowl and let it cool slightly. Lightly mix the eggs with a whisk or fork and gradually add to the dough, mixing until smooth. The dough will become elastic and glossy. The dough should elastically fall off the spatula. The choux pastry is ready. Place the finished dough in a pastry bag with a star nozzle. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, pipe 10 cm long and 2.5 cm wide strips of dough at a distance of 4-5 cm from each other. Choux pastry needs good air circulation to rise. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and bake for another 25 minutes. Choux pastry should be dry, light, golden in color, with an empty center. You can fill the eclairs with cream (choux, butter, etc.) or whipped cream with sugar, or fruit jam. You can pour chocolate icing on top, cover with sugar fondant, or simply sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cream: Combine sugar, flour and vanilla sugar in a saucepan. Add the egg and mix everything well into a homogeneous mass. Add milk and mix well. Place the saucepan on medium heat. As soon as the milk mixture thickens, immediately remove from heat. Check by running your finger along the spatula; if a trace remains, it is ready. Let the milk mass cool to room temperature. Beat the butter (it should be well softened). Add the milk mass (room temperature) in parts and beat well with a mixer until smooth. Carefully cut each eclair in half lengthwise, but do not cut it completely. Fill the eclairs with cream using a pastry bag. chocolate glaze: In a bowl, mix the melted dark chocolate with the melted butter until smooth. Dip the top of each cake in the chocolate glaze and put it in the refrigerator to harden. Make stripes of melted milk chocolate on top. Enjoy your meal 😋☕️ #baking #cake #eclairs #homemadeeclairs
