Chocolate eclairs image

I'm not usually a fan of cream but I have to admit to liking the occasional chocolate eclair. Here is a recipe my mother used to make. The yield is a guess.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ounces butter
1/4 pint water
3 eggs
2 1/2 ounces flour
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan, then add the water and bring to the boil.
  • Remove from the heat and quickly add the sifted flour and salt and beat well.
  • Heat again until the mixture leaves the side of the pan.
  • Allow the mixture to cool for a few moments before adding the first egg.
  • Beat this well into the mixture and then add the other two eggs one at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon.
  • Make sure the mixture is soft by shaking some off a spoon, it will fall softly and leave some on the spoon.
  • Eclairs: Put the choux pastry in a biscuit forcer or something similar with a 1/2 inch or 1 inch plain forcer.
  • Force out 1/2 inches of mixture on a lightly greased tray.
  • Bake in a moderate over[350F] for 35-40 minutes.
  • Ice with chocolate icing when cold, and fill with whipped cream.

Meh. These éclairs were just okay. The pastry was a little dry and the chocolate filling was too sweet.

Not bad! I'm not a huge fan of éclairs, but these were pretty good. The pastry was crispy and the chocolate filling was smooth and creamy.

These éclairs were amazing! The best I've ever had. The pastry was light and fluffy, and the chocolate filling was rich and creamy. I will definitely be making these again and again.

Overall, I thought these éclairs were pretty good. They were easy to make and they tasted good. I would make them again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

The éclairs were a bit dry. I think I would add more butter to the pastry next time.

These éclairs were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the chocolate filling next time.

I've made these éclairs several times now and they are always a hit. They are so easy to make and they taste amazing. I love that I can make them ahead of time and they still taste fresh.
