directions

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Pate a choux dough: Add milk, water, butter, sugar and salt into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir the mixture continuously to keep it from burning. Once it boils, quickly remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the flour and stir until a dough forms. Return the pan to medium heat 3 minutes while stirring constantly. Make sure the mixture doesn't burn. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture into a mixing bowl. Be careful since the mixture is still hot. Beat for 30 seconds on medium speed. Then add in 1 egg at a time. Beat until smooth after each egg.
  • Piping the eclairs: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Use a decorating bag or plastic bag to pipe the eclairs. Make sure the tip is big enough to make about a 1/2:-inch wide eclair. Fill the bag with the eclair dough and pipe onto the baking sheet. Making the eclairs about 1/2"-inch wide and 3-4"inches long. The eclairs should have enough room to expand if you place them about 2"-inches apart.
  • Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, combine egg and milk. Beat with a fork until smooth. Using the pastry brush or spoon, brush the egg wash over the eclairs.
  • Place the eclairs in the oven and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Do not open your oven while baking. The eclairs are when they appear golden brown and dry. Allow to cool after baking. Once baked and cooled poke a hole in the ends of each eclair.
  • Mix the pastry cream ingredients together. Note: This was a Kindle book and no futher instructions were given. I do believe you must cook the pastry cream and then add the pumpkin filling.
  • Fill a bag with pastry cream and pipe into the hollow center.
  • Chocolate ganache: Combine the chocolate and heavy cream and heat either on the stove or microwave 30 seconds. Dip each eclair in the chocolate.

<p>Square Meals Make Round People - Author Unknown <br /><br />Do It With Love---It Will Taste Better - Author Unknown <br /><br />I joined zaar in 2002 but I really didn't use it much on until 2006 after my computer crashed and I lost all my unsaved recipes. Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home &amp; community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School&nbsp;District and YWCA. I'm raising my&nbsp;8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have&nbsp;1 cats Samantha and&nbsp;1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost&nbsp;four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September&nbsp;2011. I'm recently&nbsp;married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece&nbsp;9 yrs old and my newphews&nbsp;7 &amp;&nbsp;8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers.</p> 8724441"
