Homemade eclairs (with vanilla cream and chocolate glaze) – Creamy and tender eclairs – recipe 10th grade

Necessary ingredients for the cream:

  • 3 cups of milk
  • 1 cup of sugar (plus 2-3 tablespoons if you like it sweeter)
  • 2 tablespoons of flour
  • 1 tablespoon of corn starch
  • 1 yolk
  • 1 pack of vanilla sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 200 g of milk chocolate for the glaze

The necessary ingredients for the dough:

  • 50 g of butter
  • 250 ml of water
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 150 g of flour
  • 4 eggs
  • A quarter of a teaspoon of baking powder

Method of cooking:

For the cream, pour the milk into a saucepan. Add flour, starch, sugar and yolk. Mix well and put the pan on medium heat until the cream thickens.

Mix butter with vanilla sugar, then add cream and homogenize. Cover the surface of the cream with food foil and let it cool.

For the dough, melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add water, a pinch of salt, sifted flour together with baking powder and mix continuously until we get a uniform and smooth dough.

Allow the dough to cool, then gradually add one egg at a time.

We put the dough in a bag and form shells on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Put the baking sheet in the oven heated to 200 degrees for 25 minutes. It is very important not to open the oven door for the first 15 minutes.

After the shells have cooled, cut each one in half and fill with cream. Glaze the eclairs with chocolate melted in a steam bath.

Taste with pleasure! Good appetite!
