I love watching Food 52. Was so happy to see this recipe, so much easier than making my favorite, eclairs. My husband and I love watching Erin Jean McDowell. We "binge-watch her on KZfaq. Forgive me if I am wrong, but the recipe listed for the Pate a Choux, shouldn't it have 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 of water? I thought Erin uses both when she makes hers. Again, sorry if I am the one that's wrong.

my grandma always made a version of this but hasn’t in a long time because it’s too “labor intensive” and she refuses to give out certain recipes. i highly doubt she was making the choux and cream from scratch like this though… i do remember a box of pudding being involved. i’ll have to give this a whirl and see what she thinks.

The wild variation for the vanilla custard is the temperature -- it will turn to custard between 165 and 185 degrees (I usually shoot for 165 then go 10 seconds longer and it's perfect)!

I've made the icebox cake eclair cake that uses graham crackers, so it's extra neat to see this version going full choux! I think if I made this I'd go for individual eclair trifles in jars because I love tiny treats! (That and then I'd have spare pastry cream to snack on!)
