In a saucepan, combine the water and butter and bring to a boil
Add the wheat flour all at once and mix with a wooden spoon until a ball forms and it's no longer sticking to the sides or bottom of the saucepan
Remove from heat
Let cool slightly
Add an egg at a time, beating vigorously with a wooden spoon
Place the dough in a pastry bag with a smooth or fluted tip
Make eclairs about 8 cm long on a non-greased baking sheet leaving some space between them
Bake in a preheated oven (200°C) for about 30 minutes or until they're puffed, firm, and golden brown
Remove from the baking sheet and place on a wire rack to cool
Prepare the filling: beat the egg yolks with confectioner's sugar until pale and fluffy
Add the cornstarch and chocolate cream, and a little hot milk
Mix well
Heat the remaining milk to boiling
Add to the previous mixture
Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth
Remove from heat and let cool with plastic wrap or aluminum foil directly on the surface to prevent skin formation
Cut each eclair in half lengthwise and fill
For the glaze: mix confectioner's sugar, chocolate cream, and enough water to obtain a good consistency for spreading
Use a spoon to place a little glaze on each eclair
Make 16 eclairs
