Eclairs, My Attempt to Make Perfect Shells

My blog www.desperatelydesserts.com
Ingredients
Eclair Dough (make 20 - 22)
150 grams Milk
150 grams Water
160 grams Unsalted Butter (cut to pieces)
160 grams All Purpose Flour
1.5 teaspoon Sugar
0.75 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Vanilla Paste (or Vanilla Extract)
5 each Eggs (large)
Craquelin Dough
⅓ cup Unsalted Butter, softened
100 grams Brown Sugar
100 grams All Purpose Flour
Craquelin Instructions
In a bowl, with a spatula, mix butter and sugar together until combined.
Add flour. Mix until it forms a dough.
Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
Work the chilled dough by kneading a few times. Place the dough between two silicone mats. Roll the dough out into a rectangle, 2mm thick. Make the rectangle a little over 12 cm (5 in) wide. The length does not matter.
Remove the top silicone mat. Use a pastry wheel to cut the dough into 2.5 cm (1 in) strips.
Keep frozen until ready to use. You can place frozen craquelin dough directly onto unbaked eclairs.
If at any time, the dough becomes too soft, sticky or starts to break easily, put the dough back in the refrigerator until it firms up.

Can share link to buy eclair mat? Is there a smaller size?

[@sarasousa5350]

😊😊😊😊

[@vatansever4381]

I did exactly how you described- but it turned out to be a gooey and doesn’t hold its shape- whats the reason you think? I work the batter out on low heat as you instructed- may be it was too low to evaporate the liquids? Or i addd too much egg? ( 5 eggs Large) or is it due to flour? Also, they raised too much so that shape was awful

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

The eggs I used were about 55 grams each. If your eggs are larger, you can hold back half an egg. Too much liquid in the dough does make it rise more. Besides adjusting the amount of egg, also make sure the milk/butter mixture comes to a rolling boil. If you mix the batter and it is still gooey, you may leave the dough (covered) at room temperature for 15 minutes or so which will dry out the dough some more.

[@N.adel86]

I had exactly the same experience also 🙁

[@ExploreBangkok]

Hello, Can I please have the Eclairs Shell recipe in EU units. The liquid ingredients in ml and the hard ingredients in grams when I weigh the solid ingredients with the trolley. Best, Toni

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

From the recipe, 6.25 grams of sugar, 4.5 grams of salt, and 4 grams of vanilla paste. 1/3 cup of butter is about 75 grams. For milk and water, you can use 150 ml. One large egg is about 50-55 grams. Happy baking!

[@mr.pastry7686]

Hello did you use convectional oven or what kind you use, shoud i switch on my ventilator i have rational oven ?

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

I used my home oven that has convection bake, nothing fancy. Because I baked two trays at once and my oven doesn't have good heat distribution so I turned the fan on. I have never used a rational oven so I am not sure about the best settings for your oven.

Dear friend. It is necessary to use mat for baking? Because i use baking paper but the bottom of eclair not flat like yours

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

For me, yes. The perforated silicone mat was how I got the bottoms of my eclairs flat, while the parchment paper made them bumpy. I purchased two perforated mats from Amazon for under $30.

[@sonojab]

@@dessertsbydesign6569 thanks for your video and suggestion. Million thanks

[@AX-se4oq]

Thanks for your video 😍 , Is 55 grams of eggs with shell or without?

Ave followed all the steps but my eclair come down

[@namnmd6237]

Hi thede. When u freeze it should u reheat it when u want to eat it or its ok to eat just like that?

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

I'd put it in a 325F-350F oven for about 5 minutes.

Hello chef. My eclairs were good. But once cooked they become so soft like bread…. And it was not hollow in the center rather filled. But baked… where did I go wrong please????? Kindly advise…/

[@DavidWilliams-ko4vl]

'probably not baked long enough. forget the times given in recipes. an eclair is done when it is crisp and feels light for its size.

[@covidcol3505]

so use pork fat i.e. crackling not sure on this anyone help please....

[@cherylpidono7235]

What size is your piping tip?

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

I used a 2 centimeter (3/4 inch) star tip.

[@peterdurnien9084]

Cracklin?

[@williamndichu9846]

Why does my eclair come down

[@Zarabakes]

I made the eclairs today. Closely followed the recipe. The baking temperature 350F started to burn the eclairs so i had to reduce to 335F. Therefore i had to bake a bit longer. Even though they came out ok but they are soft and in no way it resembles the sound of yours when i cut them. I am not sure if your recipe is accurate

[@lailanasser1154]

same here I don't know what is the problem

[@amj76425]

The Gospel is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/opPFZautjs9kb8k

[@abughaben]

I always face this problem with eclairs....I guess it's too much egg. I guess it should be 3 eggs not 5.

[@abughaben]

Always the same problem...probably the dough is very wet and runny

[@DavidWilliams-ko4vl]

hold back on all the egg, which you should whip up before adding, so you can titrate how much you are adding. after you've add three quarters of the egg do what is called the tacky test. pinch some dough between thumb and forefinger and pull the two digits apart. if the dough snaps or breaks you need more egg. if it stays in a ribbon or string, it's ready. it's all too easy to add too much egg and then there's nothing you can do. be especially careful when multiplying a recipe. 4 eggs multiplied by 4, for instance, is going to be too much. trust me on this.

[@masikaquadri2938]

I don’t have that mat ?

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

I got 2 perforated mats from Amazon for under $30. If you plan to make eclairs often, it is worth it.

[@souhaibff4281]

I have followed alla the steps but it did not work for me ,the dough was not coherant i think the problem is when i added 5 eggs , mabye it shoud be less than 5

[@ngaiteiizadeng]

the shells must be crunchy or soft .mine is always soft..which one is perfect shell.please help

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

The outside of the shells will be crispy when they come out of the oven. They will not stay crispy for very long, especially when they are filled and refrigerated.

[@ngaiteiizadeng]

@@dessertsbydesign6569 thank you so much.. this means i did it right. When i take out from oven its a litlle crispy..but when i fill..it turns out moist

[@adashofkaren]

Hi Whats the size of the piping tip u used?

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

I used a 2 centimeter (3/4 inch) star tip.

[@Arkadiy961]

Nice recipe, good job, but the music is SO LOUD I CANT HEAR YOU! It's completely unnecessary, for such great cooking.

[@princepolo5224]

Why my eclairs keep bursting while baked?

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

If your eclairs crack, it could be: 1) Uneven oven temperature. Try preheating the oven longer or turning on the oven fan; 2) Not enough moisture during baking. After mixing the dough, try to get it in the oven sooner before the dough gets too dry. Or, try having more eclairs baked in the oven at the same time to generate more steam.

สวัสดีค่ะ ขอบคุณที่แวะเข้ามารับชมนะคะ

[@namsspace]

After adding the milk my entire choux turned to be a flop..it was too wet ..how much ever flour i added!

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

After adding milk in a pot (with water, butter, sugar, and salt), please make sure to bring everything to a boil. At this point, the mixture is all liquid. Then, add all the flour at once and stir quickly which will make it form a dough. At this point, the dough will be moist but cohesive. This is before I added the eggs. Did yours not form a dough after adding all the flour?

[@MyScalpingStrategy]

iN A CRAQUELIN RECIPE...MAY I KNOW WHY DID YOU NOT MENTIONED BUTTER IN GRAMS? Sounds like butter can't be measured in grams!!

[@dessertsbydesign6569]

The butter I used came in a stick with cup marks so it was convenient for me that way. 1/3 cup of butter would be equivalent to 75 grams.

[@jimbop4499]

Unsalted butter.....then add salt! LOL

[@wardaanis2450]

Your recipe is not accurate. I followed it exactly. The dough is not even close to silky smooth as it looks in the video

[@dandi12100]

150 grams water = 5.3 ounces 150 grams milk = 5.3 ounces Total liquid to boil = 10.6 ounces This does seem a bit much, as other recipes call for only 1 cup (8 oz) of liquid. Try experimenting with slightly less liquid or slightly more flour. God bless! 🙏
