Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare the Cream Filling:<\/strong>
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs and 150 grams of sugar until well combined.
Add 70 grams of cornstarch and mix until smooth.
In a saucepan, heat 500 grams of milk over medium heat until it starts to boil.
Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously until the cream thickens.
Remove from heat and add vanillin or vanilla extract, and 50 grams of butter. Stir until the butter is melted and fully incorporated.
Allow the cream to cool completely before using.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Prepare the Choux Pastry:<\/strong>
Preheat your oven to 190\u00b0C (375\u00b0F).
In a saucepan, combine 180 grams of water, 90 grams of butter, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of sugar. Heat until the butter melts and the mixture starts to boil.
Remove from heat and immediately add 130 grams of flour. Stir vigorously until the mixture forms a smooth dough and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the dough starts to stick to the bottom of the pan.
Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool slightly.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy. The dough should be thick but fall slowly from a spoon<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
.
Shape and Bake the Eclairs:<\/strong>
Transfer the choux pastry dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.
Pipe 10-12 cm long strips of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each eclair.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the eclairs are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the eclairs to cool completely on a wire rack.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Fill the Eclairs:<\/strong>
Once the eclairs are cool, make a small cut on the side of each eclair or cut them in half lengthwise.
Fill a piping bag with the cooled cream filling and pipe the cream into the eclairs.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Garnish and Serve<\/strong>:
Optionally, dust the filled eclairs with powdered sugar before serving.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
