Pate A Choux Ingredients
4 oz milk
4 oz water
4 oz butter
5 oz flour
4 eggs

Pate A Choux Directions
1. Boil the water, milk and butter in a saucepan. Remove from the heat. Sift the flour and add to the liquid. Add the flour all at once or it will form lumps. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
2. Return to the heat and stir until a white layer is formed on the bottom of the pot. Cool to room temperature. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in between until a dropping consistency is achieved. Fill a piping bag and pipe the choux to desired shape and size of éclair.
3. Bake at 375-380 F until a deep golden brown color. For smaller eclairs about 25 minutes. Fill creams as desired. Dip in ganache or finish with powdered sugar or white chocolate drizzle.

Chocolate Ganache Ingredients
10-12 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy cream

Chocolate Ganache Directions
1. Put the chopped chocolate in a large stainless steel bowl. Bring the cream to a a boil and add to the chocolate. Let sit for 2 minutes until the chocolate starts to melt, stirring frequently. Use for dipping the tops of eclairs.

**The amount of chocolate will vary depending on the quality and desired thickness.
