Ingredients

Water

180 ml
Butter

60 g
Salt

2 pinch
Flour

90 g
Chicken egg

2 piece
Egg white

2 piece
Jam

100 g
Turmeric

0.5 tsp
Powdered sugar

Cooking

Prepare choux pastry. 130 ml of water to boil, dissolve in it 60 g of butter (you can use a good margarine), add a pinch of salt.

Add 90 g of flour and quickly stir, to avoid lumps. Convenient to use with a silicone spatula. Remove from heat, cool slightly.

One to introduce raw eggs. At first the dough looks like.

But then with careful stirring - that's it. The finished dough should gather into a ball, well behind the walls.

Fill pastry tube with dough, press out strips on a dry baking sheet (I-stick coating). Replace the syringe can be an ordinary plastic bag, cutting off his corner, and the usual baking lay parchment.

Eclairs are baked 40-50 minutes at a temperature of 180-200 degrees. The oven thus it is better not to open.

While they baked, prepare the cream. I love very much, and since childhood, protein custard. I learned to cook recently, and it turned out the first time! So, you must first boil the syrup. Typically use sugar and water. I took a chance and decided to experiment by replacing the sugar jam "Mahe". Orange marmalade diluted with water, add to color half a teaspoon of turmeric, stir. The taste of the syrup is not affected, and the color will be more bright.

This mixture bring to boil and remove from heat.

Beat whites until stable peaks, adding a pinch of salt. Continuing to mix, add a thin stream of hot syrup. Beat for another few minutes and send the cream in the refrigerator.

While the cream cools, prepare the eclairs. Those that turned out bigger, I carefully cut with a bread knife along as a trunk, smaller - cut "ass" on one side. Then filled the syringe with cream, begins their cakes, and the top sprinkled with icing sugar. These are the beauties I got!

Dear Powerade, help yourself!
