      Just a tip.. fill from the top as you're covering the eclairs with chocolate and means you won't get any custard on your hands when eating.

    I made these eclairs and they are absolutely delicious! I’m 13 and I made these so they are kinda foolproof!! Here’s my tips:
    -you don’t need an injector tip or a star tip
    - use johns trick for piping by cutting it
    - don’t get discouraged: it looks incredible after the glaze!!
    Thanks John,

      This may be done intentionally. Many public figures include slight errors in their final product- which they've usually practiced quite a bit beforehand- to allow their viewers to build trust in them/relate to them more.
      This comment was meant as a compliment to John :) And also as encouragement to those who wonder seeing his ease if they just lack the natural skills to bake. No, perfection may require quite a bit of practice!

    If I could make a suggestion for this recipe. Instead of piping the pastry creme in from the bottom, pipe it in from the top. If you noticed after John took a bite, the creme was oozing out from the bottom from the holes. But by piping it in from the top, once done, you will be dipping it in the chocolate topping, so it will seal the holes.

    I tried the eclairs today but it seems an important note has been missed - after you have finished baking the eclairs, turn off the oven and let them sit and cool for about 10-15 mins, without opening the oven door. I made the mistake of taking them out right away which made the first batch totally flat. Please add this to the recipe.

      I’m surprised-I never had that problem. But I agree with someone in the comments. Edit: *I agreed with the one baking them until they become a golden brown throughout.
      Did you bake it on the higher temperature for like 15 mins and lowering down to 375 for 25 mins?
      But I think the website mentioned stabbing a few small holes into the eclairs after baking to let the steam out. I’m not sure if not doing that makes your eclairs deflate.

  • @MrAM4D3U5
    @MrAM4D3U5 ปีที่แล้ว +35

    I made these and was actually shocked that they came out perfectly. I had a hard time filling about half of them and made a small mess on the bottom but that’s okay. I did not use a dark chocolate but semi sweet and that was plenty dark for us, any darker and the chocolate ganache may have overwhelmed the pastry and filling a little bit. I also wound up only making 12 total large eclairs on one baking sheet but they were perfect after only 20 minutes on 375. Crispy and browned perfectly while hollow like they should be. I don’t have a stand mixer either so I used an electric hand mixer with only 1 mixer attached when folding the eggs into the dough, along with a rubber spatula and had success.
    Thanks again!

      If you liked this video, you may also want to know that there are a number of steps to making chocolate! First, cocoa beans are picked from the tree. At this stage, the beans are white and gooey. The beans are fermented for 2 weeks and left to dry. Once dry, the beans have turned brown! The dried beans are roasted to create more flavor, and finally, made into chocolate products!

    Hello John… it’s currently 3:45pm here in Texas. I must say, I’ve seen many & I mean a lot of videos of people “showing” or trying to “teach” us how to cook or bake… the one thing I first pay attention to, is the ingredients, most of them, or should I say, all of them, think that they’re helping us (but I seriously believe that they’re just being cheap) by “using” the affordable stuff. But not you, kudos to you. You use the best ingredients for all of your recipes. I noticed it right away when I saw you mix the chocolate with heavy whipped cream, when others so called professionals would’ve used milk, even water (Ew!) but not you. And every & each other step you did while baking, only showed how much love you put in to your creations. Thank you John, like our kids say, You Rock! I’ll be buying your book. I hope one day I’ll get to meet you, just so you can sign my book. I hadn’t cooked or baked in 3 years, you see, I got sick, w/Lupus plus some other stuff. I was a little depressed, but after watching your vids & recipes, you gave me something to look forward to, I’ll be baking again your recipes & very soon, my husband & kids (that are no longer little kids anymore) are going to be so happy … The only thing that has me a little (very little) is that I won’t be able to taste your very own profiterole prepared with your own hands… But I’ll deal. Thank you John, you’ve been a blessing to me, God bless you.

    A tip for the eclairs if you dont have a tip or you dont want to eat it like a sandwich is you can take a chopstick or a large toothpick (for the toothpick, use the butt end- or unsharp end, of it and wiggle it around a few times). Just poke the chopstick in and proceed to fill up your eclair. it should work the same way (at least it did for me!)

    This is one of my favorite recipes, and I keep going back to this one although I realized that you recently published a new eclair video about 1 month ago, but I prefer this recipe. If you don't mind, here are a few tweaks to consider: 1) I use regular salted butter in the choux pastry instead of unsalted and adding salt. Seems redundant. 2) The Choux makes 12 eclairs but the pastry is only enough for about 8 eclairs, so I would suggest to multiply the ingredients by 1.5 times. 3) I use Lindt Excellence 85% cocoa dark chocolate to make the ganache and those who love coffee can also add about 10 grams of fine (espresso) ground coffee in the ganache, in my opinion adds more flavor. 4) i like the pastry cream but the next evolution of eclairs is to make Creme Patissiere and add melted chocolate, which makes the pastry cream chocolate colored and it also adds more firmness. In this case I cut the eclairs into top and bottom halves and I pipe the chocolate colored cream to the bottom half before closing the top, and then I dip it into the melted chocolate ganache for final assembly. Just enjoy! Much ♥ from Texas!

      Supr Eme I don’t think it does. However, it does have modified starch in it, which gels at any temp. Do you know how if you make a sauce with a corn starch slurry it thickens and gets gelatinous? Like that, but it’s been modified to where it can do that without boiling.

    I made this this past weekend and they were a huge hit with my extended family. I had made the pastry and the custard the day before and found even though I had stored them in an airtight container overnight (and had let them cool completely first), they were a little soft, no longer crispy. Thank goodness for my air fryer! I popped them in, two at a time for a few minutes and that saved the day. I did have to wait for them to cool back down, but at least the crisp was back. I also found that even though I used the full amt of whipped cream, when the custard/cream was cold it was too difficult to pipe. It actually was easier on my hands once it warmed up a little . I do love Preppy Kitchen though--it inspires me to cook and bake.

      Raw choux pastry dough also refrigerates very well. Spoon it into a ziploc bag, stick it in the fridge, and then when it’s time to bake, just cut off one edge and squeeze the dough out like you’re using piping bag. No mess, no extra dish to clean, and they still puff up perfectly every time.

    this recipe is exactly the same as for a catalan "bunyol de vent"! I do them every year for Pascua (holy week in Spain, basically), but instead of making them on the oven, you deep fry them. Also, not elongated but rounded. The reaction is immediate, and it creates a big bubble of mass almost completely empty on the inside, with a delicious spongy texture inside and a soft crust. When right out of the oil, they get a sugar bath that sticks because of the heat and that's it! Although not typical, I love to fill some of them with custard, since they are so fluffy and empty that it's easy to inject them with whatever you want.
    fun fact: the "vent" in "bunyol de vent" means air in catalan because of it's big inside cavities. They turn out as big bubbles, but so light!

    So, two things I wanted to bring up to you. I am a culinary student and we made eclairs a few weeks ago. The first thing is, when you warm the butter and water and bring it to a boil, you then add your flour and you are to stir vigorously for 1 minute. The reason you do that is to cook off the flavor of the flour. The second thing is when you added the hot dough to the mixer, you turned it on and started adding the eggs. What we were taught is to put it in the mixer, turn it on and keep feeling the bottom of the bowl and bring the temp down to were you can comfortably touch the bottom, you are wanting to bring the temperature down to 140 degrees and then you add your eggs to the dough to the right constancy. Take care.

      2 cups Water
      8 oz. Butter
      Pinch of kosher salt
      2 cups all-purpose flour
      8 eggs
      Method:
      1. Melt butter in a saucepan.
      2. Add water and bring to a boil.
      3. Add flour and stir until a dough forms.
      4. Continue cooking the mixture over low-medium heat for 1 minute.
      5. Remove from heat and place in a mixer with the paddle attachment.
      6. Turn on low speed and cool mixture to 140° or lower.
      7. Slowly add the eggs 1 at a time
      8. Place in a pastry bag with an 806 round tip.
      9. Pipe according to chef’s demonstration
      10. Bake in 400° oven until slightly golden brown.
      11. Reduce heat to 350° and bake until the inside of the choux is slightly dry.
      12. Cool on rack.

    For those rookies out there, make sure your oven is clean, ours was a bit not and we got some unwanted smoke.
    Watch the heat, you can burn em quickly, I had to turn them all to get them even. You can also undercook them. I sliced one to make sure they were good.
    When doing the custard keep mixing it will thicken eventually!
    I did sandwich method, the pipet kept moving up and I couldn’t tell how full they were. The pastry kept coming out too. Filling them bags is messy.
    Use semi sweet chocolate not like me I used dark unsweetened chocolate yuk! Caught in time though.
    Buy a mixer it will save you tons of work trust me.
    Get a large tray, you run out of room fast. Expect at least 2 or more hours to do. Plan ahead.

    I have made these a couple of times and they’re absolutely amazing! I plan on making these again today. 10/10 would definitely recommend baking these. My only note is to make sure that you don’t open the oven too early or a few of them will collapse and become difficult to fill.

      I've never seen eclairs filled from the bottom. Doesn't make sense to me. He bit into the eclair and you could see the filling oozing out. I learned from pastry chef Albert Jorant (RIP) to add the filling from both sides.

    Hi John, I've been enjoying your videos in the last few months: I've made orange madeleines several times using your madeleine recipe, and over Thanksgiving I made the crème brulée one and it was divine. I'm originally from France and before my family moved to the US when I was a child, we owned a bakery in France. I love éclairs, my dad made amazing ones, but I'm not sure why when you can find them in America, "chocolate" éclairs are always filled with vanilla pastry cream! I always feel cheated, that's false advertising when the outside is chocolate! I'm teasing, but I just wanted to leave a comment for you and others to point out that while people can make any flavor combination they want, a traditional chocolate éclair, in France, would also be filled with a chocolate pastry cream, the vanilla cream is for vanilla éclairs! I'm curious if you've ever made them this way and found them too chocolatey, but that's the beauty of a chocolate éclair! Anyway, thanks for another great recipe and fun video!

      If you liked this video, you may also want to know that Chocolate can get a bad rap because of all the added sugar it may contain. However, dark chocolate or raw cocoa nibs have 0-maybe 6 g of added sugar, if you’re buying 80-95% cocoa. Always check the ingredient label to see how much added sugar is present, and consider buying dark chocolate or raw cocoa nibs!
