How To Make barry's eclairs and cream puffs

• Step 1
  Prepare pudding, using your favorite recipe, and put in the refrigerator.
• Step 2
  Cut one stick of butter into half inch pieces and melt in a saucepan.
• Step 3
  Add one cup of water and salt into saucepan with the butter and bring to a boil.
• Step 4
  Remove from heat. Using a wooden spoon, quickly stir in a cup of all purpose flour.
• Step 5
  Return to medium-high heat and stir constantly until the mixture pulls away from the side and a film forms on the bottom of the pan. This takes about 3 minutes.
• Step 6
  Remove from heat. Use a wooden spoon and mix fast by hand until slightly cooled, about 1 minute.
• Step 7
  Continue to stir while adding eggs one at a time until a soft peak forms when touched with your finger. If peak does not form, lightly beat remaining egg white and mix into the batter, a little at a time, until it does.
• Step 8
  Add mixture to a pastry bag(or zip lock bag with a corner cut out).
• Step 9
  Squeeze a 3 inch long section of the batter onto a buttered cookie sheet. Yields 12-16 (To make the cream puffs, squeeze batter straight down to make a "mound").
• Step 10
  Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 35 minutes.
• Step 11
  Remove from oven and punch a hole in the end. Bake for 10 minutes more. Turn the oven off and let cool in the oven for 10 more minutes
• Step 12
  To make the glaze, slowly melt the butter, chocolate and vanilla together. Stir until evenly mixed together. Remove from heat and drizzle on the eclairs or cram puffs.
