Chocolate Eclairs

Use this old-fashioned chocolate eclair recipe to make chocolate eclairs that are especially delicious and elegant enough to serve on any occasion.

Put one cupful of boiling water and half a cupful of butter in a large saucepan, and when it boils up, turn in one pint of flour. Beat well with the vegetable masher. When perfectly smooth, and velvety to the touch, remove from the fire. Break five eggs into a bowl. When the paste is nearly cold, beat the eggs into it with the hand. Only a small part of the eggs should be added at a time.

When the mixture is thoroughly beaten (it will take about twenty minutes), spread on buttered sheets in oblong pieces about four inches long and one and a half wide. These must be about two inches apart.

Bake in a rather quick oven for about twenty-five minutes. As soon as they are done, ice with chocolate frosting. When the icing is cold, you will cut the eclairs on one side and fill them.

Put one cupful and a half of milk in the double boiler. Beat together two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, one-fourth of a cupful of flour, two eggs, and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt.
