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.

These éclairs were a disappointment. The pastry was tough and the chocolate filling was bland.

The éclairs turned out beautifully, but the chocolate filling was a little too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll try using a semi-sweet chocolate instead of a milk chocolate.
