For a short-dough, rub all the products to uniformity and quickly knead an elastic homogeneous dough.

Chop the dough between 2 layers of baking paper into a 2 mm thick layer. Place it until use in the freezer.

Take care of the custard "Diplomat". Pierre Erme (recipes with step-by-step photos we give in this article) suggests stuffing eclairs with a wonderful cream - fragrant and melting, but not as fatty as the usual custard with butter.

Cut the vanilla along, scrape the seeds with a knife and place them together with the pod into the milk. On low heat, bring to a boil and let it brew for an hour.

Mix sugar, yolks, and starch in a saucepan until smooth.

Strain the vanilla milk through a fine sieve and bring to a boil again.

Preheat the oven to 180 ° C and cover the pan with baking paper.

Place the dough in a pastry bag and lay a strip about 2 * 7 cm thick on the baking tray.

From the frozen short dough cut out rectangles with similar dimensions, place on top of the brewed pieces.

Allow to cool completely.

Whip the cream to a firm peak and gently mix them to the custard until smooth.

Place the cream in a pastry bag and stuff them with eclairs. Cool the food for 2.5 hours and serve. If desired, you can sprinkle with powdered sugar.
