Making Éclairs

[simplywytchy]

This was by far the BEST video to demonstrate the task of making Yummy chocolate eclairs.

Ty for posting it. You are a great teacher for doing video demonstrations.

[LionTipu]

Oh man this old woman is so good, I hope she is single and my 85 years old grand father marry this woman so we can eat eclair all the time.

[dinoing07]

I hope your family and friends appreciate all the time work and love that go into making them. They look excellent. I am making them tonight. Tks for recipe.

شكرن

[09280215]

wonderful!!! I made them many times but I like you shape :-)

[silvaninka]

this video is priceless!!!!!!! Always wanted to learned how to make eclairs. I had my own recipe and it was the same as yours except for cream. So, now I know what should I put first !!!!!!!! YeY!! thank you for sharing. Once again your video is priceless!

[sillydope786]

Do you think u can type the recipe here?

[nappychef35]

That looks like it's worth the effort. Thanks for sharing.

[lwoonli]

May i know what is the purpose of Adding the light Corn syrup into the chocolate mixture? Thanks

[sunglassgirl4eva]

am i the only one who hated the sound of the eggs being mixed into the mixture?

[foxywilder]

@sunglassgirl4eva HAHAHAHA

[2608vii]

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I'll try to make eclairs next week! :D

[MsChocolatyChocolate]

I truly enjoyed watching you, the chef, and not just the recipe.

[ancamg]

After a lot of research I understood what's Bird's custard. I would not use it for nothing in the world. Replace it with some creme patiserie (egg yolks, milk,vanilla pod and some cornstarch, simmered until the mixture becomes as thick, as sour cream.

I loved the way the recipe is explained, although I already knew how to make eclairs.

[Sorrrow1984]

Awesome! Thank you so much <3

[becky81011]

SPANK YOU!! ><  0

[wraithair]

thats was good 

[warden9876]

Once I took my éclairs with an épée from a bonbonnière and put them in an étui.

[tarasensei]

You make it look so easy.

Great demonstration. You didn't do a lot of unnecessary talking. Directions were clear. I think I'm going to try to make eclairs this weekend.

thanks again!

[SharonDuke1]

she knows what she's doing. Looks so yummy.  I want.

[vietlovesdurian]

There was something you add to the whip cream and l would like to know what was that? Thank you.

[ChaChaDave]

Hi, Hi. Loved this video. Very nicely done...clear information...thanks.

[bugalowSK]

I just LOVE this recipe !!!

[jackula8]

Boy oh boy! I like the look of these! hahah!

[blacksockrebellion]

Awesome I'm going to make a cannabis infused version it's going to be sweet

[ThePillowGrabber]

Actually, I'm curious about this one: what's the difference between éclairs and profiteroles (apart from the shape being long and ball-like, respectively)?

[match4box]

I want to know who the song is too?????

[match4box]

Who does the song in the back ground??????

[TheAndrew1987]

here eclairs are bigger :D

[CutiepieLink]

just the way grandma used to make them <3

[nisoja]

LOL, Eclare from Degrassi is a pastry....

[michoso434]

[JAZZLOVE79]

[bedtimekisses]

[gmaureen]

@bedtimekisses Sure! 

[markcumbriauk]

your the only person I have seen on youtube who bakes, cracks the eggs in a separate bowl, to make sure there not off :-)

[arigato1989]

[sixflagslover2428]

[Atir0080]

[nerektakeilla]

[foxbytes]

shimshai

[SEESTRANGER1]

[Tiiukai]

Love all your recipes - spent much of the day viewing them. Am trying the Italian bread tomorrow. I also need to know what is bird's custard - thanks!

[yanoster]

[dacrazyone88]

I like on your fridge Imagine Peace!!!

[foxbytes]

It was a full page ad in the New York Times....paid for by Yoko Ono.

[YQXX]

why you holding the wooden spoon so weird?

[foxbytes]

It's thick...and I'm beating it ......not stirring.

[sjwright76]

[msponly123]

Thank you for the video. It's great

[12cheyene]

i am eating eclairs right now!!!!!! yummy in my tummy

[chropr1]

I made the eclairs with success and so I thank you for the tutorial. I am really interested in the background music if you can please share that

[foxbytes]

Yeshu-Maria is the name of the song....performed by Shimshai

[ghostdogmovies]

Pro.

I love Grandma recipe cards you have to decipher before you prep, totally worth it.

[Rockmachine99]

I really like the fact they are bite size,; these are very similar to traditional Cream Puffs. Im surprised you didn't make your own custard, or a pastry cream. -But very Nice eclairs indeed!

[foxbytes]

You should try the Bird's custard....it's amazing!

[Rockmachine99]

I will give it a shot :)

[FlipGuardian]

Can't wait to make these =D

[Darksassy]

[Lynx4w04]

[imaimoni]

Hi,

I would like to get the detaild recipe/

Thanks in advanced

[xXxXsnowangel18XxXx]

where can i buy bird's custard?

[CUCHIE68]

I love your videos & the background music. What is the name of this song playing along with you making the eclairs?

Thank you.

[nitepolaris]

Hi, i just wanna pop back in and tell you thank you!! the bird's custard recipe you've gave works wonders!! :)

My custard wasn't lumpy and it taste great. My mum loves it!

Guess i've added in too much milk and over cooked it the first time round.

[nitepolaris]

thanks a lot... but... won't the bird's custard be quite clumpy without the cream??

Btw... the bird's custard you've made... do you just follow the recipe stated behind the packet or is there any modification?? Mine was quite dry and clumpy...T_T

[foxbytes]

to make the Bird's custard....In a small deep bowl stir with a whisk to dissolve 3 Tbs of Bird's powder in 1/2 cup of milk. Put 1 1/4 cups of milk in a saucepan with 3 Tbs. sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and quickly add the dissolved powder, stirring with the whisk...put back on low heat and stir until thickened. Pour back into bowl (cover with waxed paper) and chill thoroughly. Fold the chilled custard into the whipped cream...mix well with a mixer until smooth.

[nitepolaris]

Ahh... i c i c... so i could use whipped cream instead?! Thank you so much!!! *Bow*Bow*

[nitepolaris]

hi...the Eclairs  looks wonderful... i'm wondering if there's any substitute for heavy cream as my area don't sell it... Is thicken cream with 35% fat alright?

[foxbytes]

I'm not familiar with that....but I would suggest using just custard for the filling.

[malen81]

this is so yummmmy....

[opodobed]

I like this lady and her voice and the manner she moves amd cooks a lot! Thanks! I'm going to try this recepie and thechnic soon!

[Katy16659]

I prefer my chocolate eclairs more squidgy and soft lol yum yum :P

[Blissfuldee]

thank you

[Blissfuldee]

does anyone know the name of the backgroup song? and the eclairs look yummi

[foxbytes]

Yeshu-Maria is the name of the song....performed by Shimshai.

[mattesandbu]

can pipe in the diplomat custard instead of cutting them all in half, also just dip them in chocolate, the spoon is just over complicating it.

[xlsniper50000]

thanks for putting this up!!! theses look great.

[tilerman]

Invite me round to your house for afternoon tea and you will have real trouble getting rid of me. Yum Yum.

[Katy16659]

Lol at tilerman xD

[xelizabethxsuttonx]

:O thank u for the video, so helpful!

[BubbyGirl96]

They look fantastic!

[suntala12]

where to buy piping bag

[foxbytes]

At a candy or cake decorating store.

[liamh182]

i love all your cooking videos your a real great helper thanks :)

[klio1212]

Fantastic recipe.

Delicious !!!

[ichiban04]

It looks super yummy maybe i should try to make these on weekends like at least bring a whole batch just for me friends and so on. But lets hope my HEARING skills actually help me to make this thats what im worried about hahaha. Anyways awesome recipe.

[crackme50]

hi um... i dont think their is "birds" custard in my area. is their anything i can use to substitute it? plz answer

[foxbytes]

You can used whipped cream or vanilla custard pudding.

[crackme50]

thanks. i have another question. sorry. but when we tried to make the dough it turned out all liquid. it was all thin.

[foxbytes]

That shouldn't happen...Did you beat in one egg at a time, beating very well at each stage. The dough should break into strands when all the eggs are completely beaten. Be sure to measure the flour, water, and butter accurately.

[crackme50]

never mind. i made it again. it turned out okay. thanks for posting up this recipe.

[foxbytes]

You're welcome....Glad to hear that.

[anya2905]

hi foxbytes,for the choc glaze, can i substitute the choc chips with butterscotch chips for butterscotch glaze?

[foxbytes]

I have never tried the butterscotch....but they would probably be fine.

[anya2905]

thank you, most probably i'll try butterscotch or caramel icing for my next one. i used ur recipe and my family loves the eclairs!

[gravexcore]

They looked delicious! im going to use your recipe. :D

Thank you.

[goUSA12345]

Just a tip which i learned you can get a filling injecter and just put the filling it that to put it inside of the pastry less mess. But awesome video!=)

[EpicCoach]

Very nice! Thank you! Best video I've seen so far, you should have your own cooking show! :)

[neothomist1275]

Anyone ever make eclairs in a wok?

[KayCourtVids]

umm hi iam just making these for a multicultural fair here where i live and..i dont tihnk they have birds powdered custard at the market..so do you have any substitutions instead of the birds custard

[foxbytes]

You can use all whipped cream for the filling...or another custard blended in with the whipped cream. Also a vanilla pudding would be fine.

[mebeinghappy22]

how many eclairs does it make?and what is the size of the eclair? (base on ur video)

[foxbytes]

My recipe makes 30 petite eclairs.

[mebeinghappy22]

thanks alot!

[cHiKaDiNg58]

Those are absolutely gorgeous! =D YUM!

[freemab222]

Great video! Just what I was looking for

Pointers for tyros:

*Make shells first so as not to waste expensive ingredients. I got it on the second try.

*A KitchenAid mixer helps with mixing in the eggs.

*Bake the shells, but don't take them out of the oven when done. Turn off the oven. Run a knife into each shell, then let the shells dry in the warm oven. If they cool while wet, they collapse.

*The filling and chocolate glaze in the video are wonderful, but I prefer a vanilla pudding filling.

[PinkieFly]

Hi Joyce, thank you for the video. LOVE IT! I also love your other videos. I want to make some eclairs for my brother who claims that I have no talents whatsoever in baking (and cooking). Your instruction is very easy to follow. However, I would appreciate if you can share your Bird's Custard recipe. I got the Bird's powder after I saw your video but I couldn't produce the same result as you. It would be great if you could share the recipe and instruction. Thank you.

[nebi]

how do you make the "Bird's" custard???

[foxbytes]

It's a family tradition that was introduced to me by my mother-in-law from England. (the best tasting!) It's a powder mix that you add milk to. You should be able to find it in your supermarket..or just google it.

[001hinata001]

the best kind of donut. i like tham best with custard in the middle

[races25]

whats the name of that song?

[drivepro]

Great video! I'd like to make them for my husband and kids. How do the larger ones differ? Do you pipe them with a bigger bag? How long do they need to cook and at what temp? Could you also fill them without cutting them open? perhaps just piercing them at the top and then filling them with a pipe bag through that hole?

[foxbytes]

Yes, use a larger bag. Bake for 30 minutes for large ones at 375°F. You can puncture the side of the eclair and pipe in the filling.

[ravi930]

you should watch like the hat videos. IT's a t.v show recorder and put on you tube. it shows chef alton brown showing you how to make it and also great for kids because as you look at the video he talks a lot about SCIENCE AND MATH

[monman500]

awesome :>

[bigtonutz]

foxbytes is that all purpose flour or some other type of flour that you are using?

[foxbytes]

It's unbleached all-purpose flour.

[linplicite]

it makes me wanna eat them all! thanks grand-ma!

[aly0402]

hi there. i've got a question.

ive tried to bake them and when i take the cream puffs out from the oven, it goes flat. :(

something wrong?

[foxbytes]

The baked cream puffs should be pierced gently with a knife, and let to cool in oven (turned off) with door ajar for 15 minutes.

[athira4294]

is this old lady rockin or what??!!...seriously, she is old but she is still rocking those eclairs..wow..she's amazing...and she's got really steady,gentle hands...and she is old...amazing....u rock lady!!

[giggygina1950]

These look so yummy. Thanks for the video, I always wondered how they were made. You make everything look so easy. I also love your cozy kitchen and your pretty apron.

[porn1978]

Deliciously amazing!,Fobytes needs her own culinary show.Thanks for the upload!

[Meganox]

Great video. Is there any patricular reason why you draged the fork along the top or was it just for decorative touch? I love your kitchen too by the way, very homey and cozy :)

[foxbytes]

Dragging the fork also helps the eclairs puff up evenly.

[reamarc08]

it's great! yummy thanks Joyce for the step by step procedure, i'm learning so much. this is the mother of raemarc. zamboanga city Philippines
