Eclair Creme Puffs

A lady in our ward just gave this recipe to us. They have been a hit at the ward parties and are always the first thing to go. Haven't tried them yet but thought they sounded so yummy. You'll have to try them out too.

DIRECTIONS:

Boil and mix well:
1 cup water
1 stick butter
1 cup flour
Pinch of salt

Add:
4 eggs one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Drop by heaping teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 25-30 minutes at 400*. Cook until really golden brown.

Filling:
6 oz vanilla instant pudding
2 ½ cups milk
1 pint heavy cream

Mix pudding with milk for 2 minutes. Chill. Whip cream, chill separately. Combine and chill some more.

Chocolate Glaze:
4 TB cocoa
3 TB + 1 tsp water
2 TB oil or 2T butter ( I like to do half and half for flavor and sheen)
2 TB corn syrup

Combine in small sauce pan over low heat until smooth. Add 2 cups powdered sugar. Add more powdered sugar if needed to help it set on top of the éclairs. Cover éclairs immediately while the glaze is hot.
