  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 quart sliced strawberrues

  1. 1
    Bring 1 1/3 cups water to a boil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in piecrust mix, beating vigorously wigth a wooden spoon 1 minute or until mixture leaves sides of pan.

    Place dough in bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer; cool 5 minutes. Beat dough at medium speed with electric mixer using paddle attachment. Add eggs and egg whites, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition. (If desired, eggs and egg whites may be added 1 at a time and beaten vigorously with a wooden spoon instead of using the mixer.)
  3. 3
    Spoon dough into a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. (A large pastry bag may also be used.) Cut a 1 1/2-inch opening across one corner of the bag. Pipe 4-inch-long strips of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

    Bake at 425° for 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden. (Do not underbake.) Remove from oven, and cut a small slit in side of each eclair to allow steam to except. Cool on wire racks.
  5. 5
    Split eclairs using a serrated knife, starting at 1 long side without cutting through opposite side. Pull out and discard soft dough inside.
  6. 6
    Slice 1 quart strawberries, and spoon evenly into eclairs before filling with pastry cream. Carefully spoon about 1/4 cup Grand Marnier Pastry Cream into each eclair; close top of each eclair over fillling. Top evenly with White Chocolate Glaze and drizzle with Chocolate Glaze.
