Caramel Filling for Éclairs

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/4 cups boiling water
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Caramelize 1/2 cupful of the sugar, add the water, and cook until the caramel has dissolved. Mix the remainder of the sugar with the flour and moisten with the milk. Add this to the caramel and cook until the flour thickens completely, stirring constantly to prevent the formation of lumps. Add the butter and vanilla. Cool and fill into the éclairs. Cover the tops with a plain caramel icing.
