Classic Vanilla Eclair<\/strong><\/h4>\n

15-20 small vanilla eclairs<\/p>\n

For choux pastry<\/u>:<\/u>
\n<\/u>125 ml. (1\/2 cup) milk
\nPinch of salt
\n30 grams (3 tbsp.) sugar
\n50 grams butter
\n70 grams (1\/2 cup) all-purpose flour
\n2 beaten eggs<\/p>\n

For vanilla pastry cream:
\n<\/u>250 ml. (1 cup) milk
\n70 grams (1\/3 cup) sugar
\n2 large egg yolks
\n1 tsp. vanilla puree
\n25 grams (2 tbsp.) corn starch
\n125 ml. (1\/2 cup) heavy cream<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Make the vanilla eclairs dough: preheat oven to 190c degrees.<\/li>\n
  2. Choux pastry: in a medium saucepan put milk, salt, sugar and butter and heat to a strong boil.<\/li>\n
  3. Add flour and stir while cooking, until it turns into a lump of dough.<\/li>\n
  4. Transfer the dough to the bowl of an electric mixer with a paddle attachment and mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until it cools down a little.<\/li>\n
  5. Add the eggs gradually while beating until dough is elastic and smooth. Check the readiness of dough by creating a “trail” with a wooden spoon in the center of the dough – if the track remains stable, add some eggs, and if it closes a bit – the dough is ready. It is important not to add too many eggs to the dough or it may become too soft and ruined.<\/li>\n
  6. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a serrated 2 cm piping tip. On a baking tray lined with baking paper pipe 4-5 cm long eclairs. It’s important to leave some space between the eclairs.<\/li>\n
  7. Baking: bake for 12 minutes at first. Than reduce oven temperature to 180c degrees and continue to bake for 7-10 minutes, or until golden.<\/li>\n
  8. Cool completely before filling.<\/li>\n
  9. Make 2 small holes at the bottom of each eclair.<\/li>\n
  10. Vanilla pastry cream: in a small pan put milk and vanilla and bring to a simmer.<\/li>\n
  11. In a separate bowl whisk egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch.<\/li>\n
  12. Pour about 1\/3 of milk mixture into the egg yolks while whisking well until incorporated. Then add the remaining milk and continue to mix until blended.<\/li>\n
  13. Return the cream to the pan and cook over medium heat while whisking until a thick pastry cream<\/li>\n
  14. Remove from the heat and transfer into a flat container. Cover the surface with plastic wrap and chill for 2-3 hours until completely cold.<\/li>\n
  15. Transfer the cream into a bowl and whisk, until it returns to its original texture.<\/li>\n
  16. Whip the cream to stiff peaks and fold into the pastry cream until a uniform and smooth cream is formed.<\/li>\n
  17. Transfer the cream into a piping bad fitted with 1 cm round piping tip and fill the eclairs.<\/li>\n
  18. Decorate with a little powdered sugar and serve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Notes:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      \n
    • Keep the vanilla eclairs in a sealed box in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, but it is best on the day of preparation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
