Time 1h16m

Yield 13 to 15 eclairs

Number Of Ingredients 14

Pinch salt
1 cup water
4 ounces butter
1 cup flour
5 eggs
4 cups milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
Pinch salt
12 egg yolks
6 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons cornstarch
Vanilla
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 ounces butter

Steps:

  • Pate a Choux: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Bring salt, water, and butter to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until it forms a film on the bottom of the pot. Cool mixture and add eggs 1 at a time until completely incorporated. Pipe 5 to 6 inch rods of the mixture onto a lightly greased sheet pan. Bake for 17 minutes. Turn oven down to 350 degrees for 15 more minutes.
  • Pastry Cream: Scald milk with 3/4-cup sugar and salt. Whisk yolks and remaining 3/4-cup sugar until pale and ribboning. Whisk in flour and cornstarch. Slowly, while whisking, pour in scalded milk. Return all to stove and stir with wooden spoon until thick and 1 or 2 bubbles form. Put mixture in a bowl and add vanilla. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
  • Ganache: Melt chocolate and butter together over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Using a paring knife, poke a hole into 1 end of each eclair shell. Put a small open tip on a pastry bag and fill bag with cream. Squirt cream into each shell until eclairs feel heavy. Dip top of each filled eclair into chocolate ganache. Serve cold or at room temperature.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my éclairs turned out flat. They didn't rise at all.

The chocolate glaze was a bit too thick. I had to thin it out with some milk.

I had a hard time getting the éclairs to rise. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've tried it with different fillings, such as vanilla custard and fruit jam. They're always delicious.

These chocolate éclairs were delicious! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the dough.

These chocolate éclairs turned out amazing! The pastry was light and airy, while the chocolate filling was rich and decadent. I loved the contrast of the two textures.
