Additional tips

For more even cooking, bake one tray at a time. Mixture will keep well in the piping bag while your first tray bakes.

If you're struggling to remove the piping nozzle after piping each eclair strip, snip the mixture off with scissors. Dampen your finger with water and use it to gently round off the end of the eclair.

Mascarpone makes a more stable whipped cream that holds up really well in the eclairs. However, you can replace the mascarpone with extra cream if preferred.

Filling can be spooned into eclairs rather than piped.

After reading the reviews, I decided to weigh the water and flour after TAREING large cup on digital scales. My normal cup for baking was too small I found. Weighed butter. Eggs were medium sized, perhaps a bit cold. Will try spooning onto tray another time as cutting corner of ziplock bagfull did not really work. (Shd have done it myself!) Anyhoo, 7 giants baking now. Bottom tray not so good. Think I would cook in two batches next time.

Method

Preheat oven to 200°C bake. Line two large oven trays with baking paper.

Place butter and water in medium saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and quickly add flour. Beat with a wooden spoon until mixture leaves the side of the saucepan and starts to form a ball. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.

Add eggs one at a time, beating with the wooden spoon after each addition, until mixture is glossy.

Transfer mixture to a large piping bag fitted with a star piping tip (1.5cm diameter). Pipe strips of mixture, about 7cm long by 2.5cm wide, onto prepared oven trays. Leave 3-4cm between each eclair, to allow them to expand.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until eclairs are puffed and golden, then lower heat to 120°C and bake for a further 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Once cool, slice eclairs in half horizontally, ready for icing and filling.

Icing
Combine Chelsea Icing Sugar and sifted cocoa powder with enough hot water to form a spreadable consistency. Spread on the tops of the eclairs. Leave for 30 minutes (or longer) before filling, to allow the icing to harden a little.

Filling
Place cream, mascarpone, Chelsea Icing Sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Use an electric beater to whip until thick. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a large open star piping tip. Pipe a generous layer of cream on the bottom half of each eclair, then sandwich together with the top half.

Best served soon after assembling. Eclairs will keep in the fridge for a few days, but do soften over time.
