The perfect recipe, perfect always without fail with thanks to Renato Briffa :
250 ml water
125g butter
120g strong flour (Bread flour in the USA)
3 to 4 eggs
Preheat oven to 220 C and place a large pan of water at the bottom of the oven so that there is moisture in the oven.
Put the water in a saucepan and add the butter cut into small pieces
Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
Add sieved flour and mix well. I use a wooden spoon.
Return to moderate heat and stir continuously until mixture leaves the sides of the pan.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Beat the eggs in a separate container and gradually add to the pan.
Do not add all the eggs at once and stop when the mixture is at dropping consistency. A good test for this is to check that the mixture flows back when it is stirred on one direction.
Place in piping bag with a nozzle of your choice and pipe onto a baking sheet.
Bake at 220 C for 25 minutes without opening door.
Bake further if required.
Allow to cool.
Cut open and pipe a filling of your choice.

![The weather is changing and here comes the autumn and some delicious roasts. Sprinkling some raw couscous on fennel and sesame seed potatoes before roasting them makes them extra crunchy and so soft inside.
300g potatoes, chopped with skin on
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons uncooked couscous
1 teaspoon fresh or dried herbs [optional]
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoon fennel seeds
Sea Salt
Prepare an oven dish by greasing with a tablespoon of olive oil. In a large bowl toss the potatoes with the olive oil, herbs and salt if you are using it. Finally add the raw couscous and toss again. Use your hands to mix the potatoes and ensure that they are consistently covered.
Place in a preheated oven at 220C for 35 minutes. Spinkle with more sea salt if desired, fennel and sesame seeds.
Serve hot or cold with drinks and a toothpick or as a side to a main meal. The inside remains soft and so creamy !

Thank you so much and i hope you are enjoying your Sunday !
I apologize, kind of late. You enjoy yours to, thank u.
I used to love eating eclairs, especially on my birthday. I can’t eat them now because of my multiple food allergies.
Oh what a shame! Did you ever come across any good alternatives ?
No unfortunately not. The only cake thing I could have was chocolate muffins made using a sugar free recipe that I adapted. As I live on my own, I don’t make them anymore.as I uaed to make a batch of them.
Yum! I LOVE the Mediterranean scene.
Yes yum and yes also the Mediterranean is one of the most beautful regions in the world ! Eating these eclairs and looking at the glorious scene… A must for everyone… Have a great Sunday !
Eclairs – one of my favorite desserts – that I try not to eat.
Imlove these Jovina, even without the chocolate and without the cream, as soon as they cool down from the oven. Hope you are having great weekend !
OM goodness; this looks lovely. vw
Thank you so much and lovely to see you here !
🙂
The eclairs look delicious and rather easy enough for me to attempt. Love the Mediterranean view.
Thank you i love the views here too and i am so lucky to be here. Yes the eclairs are very easy to make contrary to what many think, the secret is to have a fantastic recipe and this is exactly just that. Follow it , every little step and you will have fantastic eclairs and dont be tempted to open the oven before 25 minutes 🙂
