CARAMEL ECLAIRS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 c. boiling water
1/2 c. butter, margarine or
salad oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. sifted all-purpose flour
4 eggs, unbeaten
Start heating oven to 375 degrees. To water, add butter and
salt. When butter has melted in water and mixture has come to
brisk boil, turn heat low. Immediately dump in flour all at
once. With wooden spoon begin beating. As you beat mixture
briskly over low heat, it will form dough that pulls away from
sides of pan and forms compact ball. Remove it from heat and
continue beating, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time,
beating well until mixture is thick again. After adding last
egg, beat until mixture has satin-like sheen. Onto greased
baking sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoons 2 inches apart.
Bake eclairs about 45 minutes or until golden brown and
puffed. Remove from oven; with point of knife, make cut in
half. Bake 5 to 7 minutes longer to be sure insides are well
done. Remove and cool on cake rack. Fill eclairs with instant
vanilla pudding made from mix. Top with caramel glaze.
Refrigerate
