Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot oil. Never put water on an oil fire: turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid or a damp tea towel. Pat food dry before it goes into hot oil, and lower it in gently, away from you.
  • Deep frying. Fill the pan no more than a third full of oil, and never leave it on the heat unattended. Heat the oil only to the temperature the recipe needs; if it smokes, turn the heat off.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Grill and open flame. Keep sleeves, hair and tea towels away from the flame, and stay with the grill while it's lit. Barbecue outdoors only, never in a closed space.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. [See recipe: Eclairs.] Take teaspoons of the batter, cook in deep fat that commences to get warm, let come to a heat, slowly.
  2. When swelled and golden brown, take out.
  3. Take some whipped cream, flavor with brandy and sweeten with sugar, fill, put on a broiler, glaze with a chocolate frosting.
  4. Serve as dessert.
  5. Eclairs with Chocolate ( Eclairs au Chocolat ) a la Violette [See recipe: Eclairs.] Take the teaspoonfuls of the batter, fry in fat that commences to get warm — not too many at a time, so that they can swell, then fill.
  6. Filling.
  7. One and a half cup water, one tablespoon cornstarch, four tablespoons sugar, two squares chocolate, one cup whipped cream, one teaspoon vanilla.
  8. How to Make the Filling.
  9. Put one cup water on stove, add sugar.
  10. When it boils, thicken with the cornstarch dissolved in half cup water, add the cut-up chocolate, add vanilla, stir on ice, add the whipped cream.
  11. Fill the eclairs.
  12. Put on a broiler, glaze with water frosting.
  13. Serve with whipped cream as a dessert.
