FAMILY FAVORITE ECLAIR RING

Here is my family's favorite eclair ring recipe:

1 cup water
1/4 lb. butter or margaring(1 stick)

Bring to boil, turn heat down to low and add 1 cup flour; 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir fast until dough layer leaves sides of pan; quickly put into a larger bowl and add 4 eggs all at once. Use beater until smooth. Grease pizza pan or large cookie sheet. Place dough to form a circle or 2 smaller circles. Bake 400 degrees for 40 min. Shut oven off when done and leave in oven for 15 additional minutes.

FILLING

2 1/4 cups milk
2 -4 1/2 oz. pkgs. instant vanilla pudding (smallest size)
1-41/2 iz. Cool Whip

Add milk to pudding . Beat until a little thick. Refrigerate. Then fold in cool whip. Cut off top of ring---fill with pudding and put top back on. Frost with chocolate frosting. (I use canned and I melt it in the microwave alittle and pour over the top of ring.)

This recipe has been in my family for years. There is never a time that it is ever left over. I am making 2 of these for the baptism. I figured this is a good time to share it with all of my knitting and crafting friends. Enjoy!!!!!!!
