Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup water
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
4 eggs
filling:
2-1/2 cups cold milk
1 package (5.1 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
frosting:
2 oz semisweet chocolate
2 tbsp butter
1-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tbsp hot water

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large saucepan, bring water, butter and salt to a boil. Add flour all at once and stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue beating until mixture is smooth and shiny.
Using a tablespoon or a pastry tube with a No. 10 or large tip, form dough into 4x1-1/2-in. strips on a greased baking sheet. Bake 35-40 minutes or until puffed and golden. Remove to a wire rack. Immediately split eclairs open; remove tops and set aside. Discard soft dough from inside. Cool eclairs.
In a large bowl, beat milk and pudding mix according to package directions. In another bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Beat in sugar and vanilla; fold into pudding. Fill eclairs (chill any remaining filling for another use).
For frosting, in a microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in sugar and enough hot water to achieve a smooth consistency. Cool slightly. Frost eclairs. Store in refrigerator. Yield: 9 servings.
