Easy homemade eclairs

Hello my beloved and Happy Valentines day!!! I know we are still a day away, but when you're in love, it's Valentines day EVERYDAY! I actually started the beginning of this week being extra sweet to my sweety and making extra special dinners. Tonight after dinner, we watched a cheesy valentines movie and my hubby mentioned that he was craving something sweet. I turned to him and asked him what he wanted and that I would make him anything.  He started acting like a girl saying, " I don't know, I don't know..." So I gave him some suggestions and one of them was eclairs. He got excited and said he wanted me to make him 10!! But I said relax count Chocula...I'm going to make us like 2... So off I went to the kitchen to bake some love for my love and it's super easy to make so I thought as a sweet Valentines gift to you all I would share my recipe; here it is, enjoy and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY:

Ingredients:

4 eggs (large)
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1 cup water

Prep:
Oven 425 degrees Fahrenheit, line cookie sheet with parchment paper

Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, put 1 cup water and 1/2 cup butter over heat, until butter is completely melted.

2. Add flour and mix until it becomes dough then remove it from heat and put it in a mixing bowl.

3. Mix 4 eggs ( one at a time) until they are mixed well

4. Put mixture in a piping bag and on your cookie sheet (lined with parchment paper), pipe eclairs 3  1/2 " long

5. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown

6. Cool, cut eclairs in half and put filling ( you could make your own custard, but I just take the easy route and use vanilla pudding).

Icing: to make the chocolate on top, just get some semi sweet chocolate chips and heat in a saucepan until melted and then dip tops of eclairs, let cool and enjoy!! To be honest they are delicous even without the icing...mmmmmmmmmm
