Instructions

1

Heat the oven to 200C. Melt the butter with 150ml water and bring to the boil.

2

Tip in the flour all at once and beat hard over the heat until the dough forms a smooth ball. Cool for 5 minutes.

3

Gradually beat in the eggs until you have a smooth, glossy piping paste.

4

Pipe 10cm lengths onto a lined tray and bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed and crisp. Pierce each to release steam and cool.

5

Whip the cream to soft peaks and fill each éclair through the end or a slit in the side.

6

Melt the chocolate, stir in the icing sugar and a splash of hot water to make an icing, then dip or spread over the tops. Leave to set.
