How to make?

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup water

½ cup butter

4 eggs

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups heavy cream

¼ cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting

Directions

Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 350 degrees F . To prepare a template for your éclairs, take one sheet of parchment paper and, using a ruler as a guide and a Sharpie for easily visible lines, draw twelve 4 1/2-inch long lines that are 2 inches apart. Flip paper upside down and set it on an aluminum half-sheet tray. Repeat with a second piece of parchment paper and sheet tray.
