I remember making eclairs for the first time. They are crispy on the outside and deliciously creamy on the inside. This delicious food is intoxicating. I hope it can heal your soul.

Overview

It was the first time to make eclairs, and I found it a bit difficult. They were a bit over-baked and the shape was not very good_(|3　∠)_But with so many delicious ingredients added, they tasted pretty good O(∩_∩)O. Puffs have a sweet and rich taste, with a crispy and delicious outer shell, and a cold and delicate filling. The various accessories seem to provide complex flavors, but they combine wonderfully when you eat them, making you intoxicated. Total production time: about 1 hour (for reference only) (PS: It’s really hard to make videos and recipes. If you like food, you can follow me and communicate with me more)

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First make the puff body, using 27 grams of unsalted butter, 30 ml of water, 30 ml of milk, and 1 gram of salt. Boil until boiling for 20 seconds and then remove from the heat.

   

2. 2 After removing from the heat, sift in 37 grams of low-gluten flour and 3 grams of matcha powder, and stir evenly with a spatula.

   

3. 3 I am using a non-stick pan, so I keep frying over low heat until it forms a dough, and keep stirring with a spatula until the surface of the dough is shiny. (If it is not a non-stick pan, a thin layer of puff film will suffice on the wall of the pan.)

   

4. 4 After taking out the puff film, take out the dough and spread it out in a basin. Beat 1 egg (must be room temperature egg), add the egg liquid in 3 times, use a spatula each time to mix the egg liquid into the batter, then add the egg liquid and continue to mix well

   

5. 5 Just wait until the batter drips out in an inverted triangle shape after lifting the spatula. It is not necessary to add all the egg liquid. If there is still a lot of egg liquid after mixing, do not add more.

   

6. 6 Put the mixed batter into a piping bag and pipe it on the baking sheet. Basically, this recipe can squeeze about 5 pieces. Dip a spoon into some water and slightly correct the squeezed dough.

   

7. 7 Spray a little water on the surface of the puffs, preheat the oven to 180°C and bake for about 20-25 minutes. Each oven has a different temperature. When baking, you need to check the expansion state and surface condition to make sure it doesn't get too burnt. (I didn’t notice that both of them were a bit burnt_(|3　∠)_)

   

8. 8 To make original eclairs, just replace the same amount of matcha powder with cake flour.

   

9. 9 While the puffs are cooling, take 180 ml of whipping cream and 20 grams of white sugar, beat with an electric egg beater until it reaches 8 parts, the texture will be clear, put it into a piping bag and set aside.

   

10. 10 Cut the puffs, squeeze in the whipping cream, then put a layer of whipped cream on top, add some fruit to garnish, it all depends on what you do.

    

11. 11 By the way, make some chocolate ganache. Take 50 grams of whipping cream and heat it until small bubbles appear. Add 50 grams of chocolate and stir until it melts. Pipe the chocolate ganache onto the surface of the eclairs and decorate them.

    

12. 12 The lightning puff completes O(∩_∩)O.

    

13. 13 The taste of pure chocolate is a bit bitter, but it tastes quite special when paired with sweet whipped cream.

    

14. 14 The outside is crispy and delicious, and the inside is cold and delicate.

    

15. 15 The various auxiliary ingredients seem to provide complex flavors, but they combine wonderfully once you eat them, making you intoxicated.
