Irresistible Walnut-Filled Eclairs

No one can resist fluffy eclairs! The eclairs turn out very tender, with a pleasant peanut taste. You can add more or less nuts to the cream according to your taste. If suddenly buttercream is too heavy for you, then these eclairs go perfectly with classic custard. With this cream the taste of eclairs will be lighter. Help yourself!

Place the pan on the fire and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour all the flour into the boiling mixture and, without removing from the heat, brew the dough for 2-3 minutes. Stir the mixture constantly. The finished dough should come together and not stick to the walls. Let the dough cool until warm.

Step 5

Step 5
Beat all the eggs into the cooled dough, one at a time. Add the next egg only when the previous one is completely incorporated. Mix with a regular wooden spoon or mixer at minimum speed.

Step 6

Step 6
The finished dough should be soft and hold its shape well.

Step 7

Step 7
Fill a pastry bag or syringe with a star or regular round tip with the dough and squeeze the dough onto a baking sheet in the shape of eclairs. If you don’t have a bag or a syringe, spoon out the dough with a regular spoon, then you will get small profiteroles. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 C for about 20 minutes. Do not open the oven while baking.
