Bring the butter, water, and salt to a boil in a saucepan.
Add the flour all at once and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until the dough comes together.
Cool the dough for 10 minutes, then add the eggs one by one until glossy.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag and pipe 12 cm strips onto a tray.
Bake the pastry strips for 15 minutes at 200°C, then for 20 minutes at 180°C.
Cook the milk, egg yolks, sugar, starch, and vanilla into a thick pastry cream, then chill for 2 hours.
Fill the cooled pastries with the cream.
Pour hot cream over the chocolate, stir, and glaze the filled pastries.
💡 Tip: Do not open the oven door early, so the eclairs dry out without collapsing.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chilled with coffee and fresh strawberries.
