    1. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring to a boil; add the butter and stir until melted, then stir in the flour. Let the mixture cool slightly, then beat in the eggs, mixing until smooth. 2. Using a pastry bag, pipe strips of dough onto a baking sheet. 3. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes. 4. While the pastries bake, make a syrup from the water and sugar. Cook it until faintly golden — a drop should be thick. 5. Whip the egg whites to a fluffy, stable mass, then beat in the hot syrup. 6. Assemble the cake: dip the éclairs in the cream and arrange them on a plate. Decorate the top with cocoa powder, grated nuts, or chocolate. Let the cake set, then serve!
