LFGF Chocolate Eclairs.

Ingredients:


  • Choux pastry
  • 60g Butter
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 1/2 cup LFGF Pastry Mix
  • 2 Eggs, beaten

Chocolate Sauce
  • 185g Dark Chocolate
  • 2/3 cup Water
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee
  • 1/2 cup Sugar

Filling
1 Tablespoon icing sugar, sifted
2-3 drops Vanilla essence
3/4 cup Cream, whipped.



Method:


1. Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the flour all at once and beat until the mixture leaves the sides of the pan.


2. Cool slightly, then add the eggs a little at a time, beating vigorously.


3. Put the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a plain nozzle (the bigger the nozzle, the bigger eclairs). Pipe 5cm lengths onto a greased baking tray.


4. Bake in a moderately hot oven (200-300c) for 30mins. Do not open the oven door for a at least 10 mins.


5. When cold, mark an incision in one side and fill with cream filling.


6. Cover with chocolate icing.


Enjoy!
