......cycles as for puff pastry ?

Answer 1

Eclairs are made with a basic choux pastry dough.  It is very simple and very versatile!

½ cup butter

1 cup water

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup all-purpose flour

4 eggs

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter in the water. Add salt and flour, and stir until a sticky batter is formed. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the batter is smooth.

When the dough is ready, transfer to a pastry bag, fitted with the tip desired, and form whirls of the mixture on a buttered baking sheet.

Makes enough dough for 8 medium-sized pastries
