I cook for a youth camp, where I face 140 hungry kids three times a day for two weeks. It's a lot of work, but I love doing it. The kids make me feel appreciated when they say how much they enjoy the food. This creamy dessert is a camp favorite.-Joyce Mummau, Mt. Airy, Maryland

EASY ECLAIR DESSERT
An adaptation of a TOH recipe that is as easy as can be. Nice when you need to bring a sweet treat but do not have time the night before, b/c this is best made and refrigerated 2-3 days ahead of time. If you like less pudding, then use 2 packages of pudding and 3 1/2 cups milk. Enjoy!

Tips
- Choux pastry: Use high-quality ingredients, especially butter and flour. The butter should be cold and cut into small pieces, and the flour should be sifted. Mix the ingredients until the dough just comes together, then chill it for at least 30 minutes before piping. This will help the éclairs rise properly in the oven.
- Piping the éclairs: Use a pastry bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the éclairs. Hold the pastry bag perpendicular to the baking sheet and pipe the éclairs in 3-inch lengths, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one. Do not let the tips of the éclairs touch, as they will stick together during baking.
- Baking the éclairs: Bake the éclairs in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375°F and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking, as this will cause the éclairs to fall.
- Filling the éclairs: Once the éclairs are cooled, use a sharp knife to slice them in half horizontally. Fill the éclairs with your favorite filling, such as pastry cream, chocolate ganache, or whipped cream.
- Glazing the éclairs: You can glaze the éclairs with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and water, or you can use a flavored glaze, such as chocolate glaze or coffee glaze.
Conclusion
Éclairs are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for special occasions, but they can also be enjoyed as a simple everyday treat.
