Mini Chocolate Eclairs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Filling
1 (3 ounce) package vanilla pudding mix (not instant)
2 cups milk
Eclair
1 cup flour
2 medium eggs
1/2 cup butter
1 cup water
1/8 teaspoon salt
Frosting
12 ounces chocolate frosting (I prefer Betty Crocker's whipped)

Preparation

Prepare pudding according to directions on box and let cool for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Combine butter,water and salt in a sauce pan over medium heat until butter is melted and it comes to a boil.
Reduce heat to low.
Stir in flour very fast and well until mixture forms into a ball.
Put the mixture into a bowl and let cool for 5-7 minutes.
Add eggs in 1 at a time and beat well.
Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drop mixture onto baking sheet into 12 mounds 5 inches apart.
Using a spoon, spread out each mound until it becomes a 4 x1/2 inch rectangle rounding the edges of the side to make it oval.
Bake for 35 minutes or very lightly golden.
Then cut a 1 inch slit along side of each eclair.
Reduce oven heat to 375 degrees and return them into the oven for another 10 minutes.
Put on a wire rack to cool.
Cut each eclair into half.
Spread 1 tbsp of filling on the bottom part of the eclair.
Frost tops with frosting.
Enjoy!
