CREAM PUFFS OR ECLAIRS WITH VANILLA PASTRY CREAM
My husband is not a big fan of cake, so for his birthday each year, I make cream puffs for him. He loves these so much, I have to make sure he only eats one or two at a time so he doesn't make himself sick! There are several cream puff recipes out there, but this vanilla pastry cream is a bit different from the others and it's really wonderful. Prep time does not include 2 hours chilling of pastry cream. From the Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook.

Steps:
- Make vanilla pastry cream:.
- In 2 quart saucepan, combine sugar, flour and salt; stir in milk.
- Over medium heat, cook, stirring until mixture thickens and boils, about 10 minutes.
- Boil 1 minute.
- In a small bowl with fork, beat 6 egg yolks slightly.
- Beat small amount of heated milk mixture into yolks.
- Slowly pour egg mixture back into milk mixture, stirring.
- Cook over medium low heat, stirring till mixture thickens and coats spoon well, about 8 minutes (do not boil).
- To check thickness, lift metal spoon from mixture and hold up 15 seconds - spoon should not show through mixture.
- Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
- At this point I usually put this custard through a strainer to get out any lumpy cooked egg pieces.
- Cover surface with plastic wrap, and chill well, about 2 hours.
- When custard is cool, in a small bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat heavy/whipping cream till stiff peaks form.
- With a rubber spatula, gently fold whipped cream into custard.
- Puffs:.
- Spray 1 or 2 large cookie sheets with nonstick spray. Heat oven to 375.
- In 2 qt saucepan over medium heat, heat butter, water and salt till butter mixture boils.
- Remove from heat.
- Add flour all at once. With a wooden spoon, vigorously stir until mixture forms a ball and leaves sides of pan.
- Add eggs to the flour mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition, till smooth.
- Cool mixture slightly.
- Using a large spoon and rubber spatula, drop batter onto cookie sheets int 12 large mounds, 3 inches apart, swirling the top of each.
- (for eclairs, instead of mounds, spread the choux paste into 5" by 3/4" rectangles).
- Bake 50 minutes (this is what the original recipe says - however, I NEVER bake them that long - more like 35 minutes - go by your own oven - if they're looking puffed and browned and dry, they're probably done).
- At this point, remove from oven, cut a small slit in the side of each puff and return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Turn off oven and let dry for 5-10 minutes (I don't usually do this and it doesn't seem to matter too much).
- When puffs are cool, slice top off of each - there will probably be some webby looking soft dough inside - carefully pull this out to make it hollow.
- Fill each shell with the chilled pastry cream.
- Replace top and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- For Eclairs:.
- Go through the same process, but top with semisweet chocolate glaze: In saucepan, melt 2 squares semisweet chocolate and 2 T butter, stirring constantly (or heat briefly in the microwave to melt) Stir in 1 cup powdered sugar and 3 T milk till smooth.

Steps:
- To make the pastry put the water, salt, sugar and butter in a pan and bring to simmer, until the butter is melted. Turn up to a boil, then remove from the heat and gently add the flour and beat everything together with a wooden spoon. Keep beating until the mixture turns smooth, then tip it into a bowl. Leave it to cool.
- Gently beat in the eggs one at a time with a wooden spoon. You must not add another egg if the one before has not yet been incorporated into the mixture. The mixture should be smooth and fall easily off the wooden spoon.
- Heat the oven to 200 C/fan 180 C/gas 6. Grease a large tray, aprox. 40 cm x 30 cm and cover it with baking parchment. Put a large nozzle (approx. 1,5 cm) into a piping bag and spoon in the pastry mix. Pipe out oblong shaped lines about 6 cm long. Bake for 20-25 minutes until they are crisp and hollow inside. Cool and then cut them in half horizontally.
- For the filling, mix the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla sugar in a pan, until the latter completely melts. Then add the corn starch, butter and milk and mix thoroughly. Heat the mixture in a water bath (bain-marie) until it thickens. After it has cooled down spread the mixture gently into the base halves of the eclairs.
- Whip the cream with the vanilla extract and the powdered sugar. Pipe it into the eclairs over the vanilla layer. Carefully sit the tops and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar. Leave to cool until they are stiff. Serve with coffee or tea.
