Traditional French dessert prepared from batter sprayed on a baking sheet and baked until golden brown. Once cooled, Eclairs are filled with cream filling and strawberries, dusted with icing sugar and decorated again with whipped cream and strawberries.

Ingredients:

125 g of milk 125 g of still mineral water 110 g of butter 70 g of flour 70 g smooth flour 5 g of semolina sugar 5 g salt 5 pcs

td>egg

For whipped cream: 300 ml whipping cream 3-4 tsp 1 sachet of thickener Other: about 500 g of fresh ripe strawberries powdered sugar, whipped cream and strawberry halves for garnish

Procedure:

Pour the water and milk into a saucepan, add the butter, sugar and salt, gradually heat on a heat source, once the contents of the saucepan begin to boil, pour in both flours, stir until a smooth mass forms that will stick to the bottom

At this stage of the dough preparation, transfer the mixture to the bowl of the food processor, let it mix on the lowest setting until it comes to room temperature

Increase the speed and gradually incorporate all the eggs into the mixture, you should get a shiny dough that stretches nicely

Transfer the prepared dough into a pastry bag, spray the baking sheet lined with baking paper with strips about 15 cm long (leave bigger gaps, because the dough will still rise during baking!)

Place the tin in an oven preheated to 200 °C, bake for 10 minutes, then open the oven for a moment to let the steam escape, then bake for a further 20-25 minutes at 180 °C

Pull the baking sheet out and let the Eclairs cool nicely, then slice them horizontally

.Whip the cream with the sugar and thickener until stiff, transfer the whipped cream into a pastry bag

Fill the bottom part of the Eclaireks with whipped cream, fill with slices of washed strawberries, spray them again with whipped cream, finally cover the top part with the individual pieces, sugar the Eclaireks and decorate them with whipped cream and strawberry slices.

Finally, leave the Eclairs in the fridge to set and cool.
