Royal Chocolate Éclairs

June 1, 2011 by Admin 5 Comments

Whether you love the Queen or want our nation to be royalty-free, there is no doubting we all love a public holiday! For the upcoming long weekend why not celebrate our beginnings and whip up these delicious Royal Chocolate Éclairs from Queen Fine Foods.

Serves: 4-6
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 35 minutes

You Need:


50g butter
1 cup plain flour, sifted twice
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 packet Queen Royal Icing
Queen Imitation Chocolate flavouring
Whipped cream, to serve

Royal Chocolate Eclairs

Method:

Preheat oven to 210C. Line two baking trays with non-stick baking paper.

Place the butter in a heavy based saucepan with ¾ cup water and stir over medium heat until it comes to the boil. Remove from heat and using a wooden spoon quickly beat in the flour. Return to the heat and continue beating with the wooden spoon until mixture forms a ball and leaves the sides of the pan. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.

Continue beating the dough in the bowl with the spoon. Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition, until all the eggs have been added and the mixture is thick and glossy.

Spoon the mixture into a piping bag and pipe thick lines onto the baking tray, allowing room for spreading. Sprinkle a little water on the tray to create extra steam when cooking.

Cook for 20-30 minutes or until golden and hollow sounding when tapped. Remove, make a little hole in the base of the éclair then return to the oven for 5 minutes to dry out further. Cool completely.

Once the éclairs are cool, mix together the Queen Royal Icing with enough cold water and Queen Imitation Chocolate flavouring to form a runny icing.

Ice the tops of the éclairs with royal icing then fill with cream and serve.

    Just the perfect recipe for a heavily pregnant woman with cravings for sweet things (= me!). I intend to make a mini version of these even though I know I might eat them up in one go. Haha.

    Not fair. You can give us a delicious recipe with Chocolate (mmmmmmm………) when I’ve just decided to loose the cheesecake calories from the past few days. This is not fair. Oh well, may as well go with the flow. Chocolate eclairs for the weekend, I guess.
