the best éclairs of all time
Place butter, water, salt, and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the flour and continue cooking until the dough forms a ball. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually add one egg at a time, whisking well. Fill the batter into a piping bag. Pipe the éclairs onto a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes. Fill the éclairs with the custard. Dip the éclairs into the melted chocolate and let it dry. Tip: Melt 2/3 of the chocolate over a double boiler and remove from the boiler. Then add the remaining chocolate and melt. This tempers the chocolate.
