Chocolate Éclairs w/Vanilla Cream
Pâte à choux (the puff pastry)
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into 6 roughly equal pieces
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 cups flour
4 large eggs
1 cup water
Instructions to prepare pastry:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
1) Bring water, butter, sugar, and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan.
2) Once the butter is fully melted, remove from heat and stir in the flour.
3) Reduce heat to a medium-high level and cook the mixture until it pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 3 minutes.
4) Transfer the mixture into the bowl of an electric mixture and beat on a low speed for about 1 minute.
5) Raise to a medium-level speed and add eggs one at a time until the batter forms soft peaks.
6) Spoon the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a wide round tip.
7) Prepare two baking sheets with wax paper and pipe 3 inch long oblongs about 2 inches apart from each other.
8) Bake each sheet at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
9) Cool until you can carefully remove the eclairs from the baking sheet without breaking them.
Now they are ready to be filled!

Ingredients
(Its a cake in a mug)
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 2 tbsp. granulated sugar
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp. milk
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp. hazelnut chocolate spread (optional, peanut butter also works)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together dry ingredients
- Whisk in milk and vegetable oil until there are no more clumps and batter is mixed together
- Pour batter into microwave-safe mug (14 ounce mug or more) Want space so it doesn't spill over
- If using hazelnut spread/peanut butter spread in the middle of the batter. Just drop it in the middle, no need to let it sink
- Place a paper towel underneath the mug so it doesn't spill all over your microwave (if happens)
- Place in microwave on high for 70 seconds
- Remove from the microwave and enjoy (spoon works well, I have no clue how else you would eat it but...I'm sure it's possible)
Also
Some microwaves are different than others so you may have to play with the time until it is cooked throughout evenly and until it tastes goodAlso doesn't take that much time to make... depends mainly on how quick you can get the ingredients out to make it
I have doubled the recipe and then poured into many mugs which works well
Its rich so you may want to share it with someone else, but you don't have to
Exactly that.For those that didn't see it in the Funny Pictures & Videos Thread. You can watch me wind up Ori while I flail about in the kitchen here.
