I saw this recipe while I was doing my French homework - why and how are not the issue here.
Yield: 12 servings
1 c Water
1/2 c Margarine or butter
1 c All-purpose flour*
4 Eggs
Cream Filling
1/3 c Sugar
2 tb Cornstarch
1/8 ts Salt
2 c Milk
2 Egg yolks; slightly beaten
2 tb Margarine or butter
Softened
2 ts Vanilla
Chocolate Frosting
1 oz Unsweetened chocolate
1 ts Margarine or butter
1 c Powdered sugar
1 To; (up to )
2 tb Hot water
*Self-rising flour can be used.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat water and margarine to rolling boil in 2-1/2-quart saucepan. Stir in flour; reduce heat. Stir vigorously over low heat about 1 minute or until mixture forms a ball; remove from heat. Beat in eggs, all at once; continue beating until smooth. Drop dough by scant 1/4 cupfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Shape each into finger 4-1/2 inches long and 1-1/2 inches wide with spatula. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool away from draft. Cut off top one-third of each eclair and pull out any filaments of soft dough. Fill eclairs with Cream Filling. Replace tops and frost with Chocolate Frosting. Refrigerate until serving time. Refrigerate any remaining puffs.
CREAM FILLING Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt in 2-quart saucepan. Gradually stir in milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute.
Gradually stir at least half of the hot mixture into egg yolks. Stir into hot mixture in saucepan. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in margarine and vanilla; cool.
CHOCOLATE FROSTING Heat chocolate and margarine in 1-quart saucepan over low heat until melted; remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar and hot water. Beat until smooth and of spreading
consistency.

mmm oh yes~...what do you mean by unsweetened chocolate? it can be chips, right? xD and if they were sweetened would it make a big difference? i was thinking since they were sweetened chips i could just minus out the amount of powdered sugar... gah @.@ but as you can see i really want to try this ;U
