Recipe: Vanilla and Strawberry Eclair Ring

I've made this combination before but never in such a successful form, inspired by this month's Cooking Secrets magazine. And the eclair recipe is from Angela, so it's guaranteed to work.

Ingredients

Eclairs

120 ml milk
100 ml water
a pinch of salt
125 g butter
1 tablespoon sugar
150 g flour
4 eggs

Decoration

1 packet vanilla pudding mix
350 ml milk (I used 400 ml and the cream was a bit soft)
200 g strawberries
whipped cream for decoration

How to prepare vanilla and strawberry eclair ring

  1. I put the milk with water, butter, and salt on low heat until it started to boil. Then I added 1 tablespoon of sugar and removed from heat.
  2. I added all the flour at once and stirred quickly until it pulled away from the pot. Let it cool completely.
  3. I added the eggs one at a time, mixing well. My eggs were very small, you might only need 3 - the consistency of the dough is visible in the photo.
  4. I lined the bottom of a round pan with parchment paper and shaped the eclairs with a piping bag.
    *If you don't have a round pan, trace a circle using a pot on the parchment paper and use it as a guide.
  5. I baked for 20 minutes (without opening the oven). The first 10 minutes I kept it at 220°C, then lowered to 200°C. Then I set the temperature to 180°C and left for another 20 minutes until the eclairs were well dried. They should sound hollow when you tap them.
  6. I cut the tops off the eclairs.
  7. I filled the eclairs with vanilla cream, made from a packet of vanilla pudding mix and milk.
  8. I placed strawberry pieces over the cream.
  9. I put the tops back on, dusted with vanilla-flavored powdered sugar.
  10. I decorated with canned whipped cream and strawberry quarters.
