    • Boondi Éclair
    Ingredients: For Éclairs 125ml Water 125ml Milk 125gms Butter 12gms Caster Sugar 165gms All-purpose Flour 5 Eggs 2gms Salt Directions For Éclairs Heat water, milk, butter, and sugar together and boil. Take the pan off the heat and add the sifted flour and salt. Use a spatula to stir until thoroughly combined. Return the pan to the hob, reduce the heat to low, and continue stirring with a spatula until the dough leaves the sides of the pan. Take off the heat; transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and leave to cool for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Gradually add the beaten eggs to the dough. Beat with a spatula until the mixture is smooth. The consistency should be neither too soft nor too hard; it should drop off the spoon, leaving a smooth ‘V’ shape. Pipe into shape and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, then reduce the temperature and let them dry at 350°F.
