Total estimated time: 2 hours
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium saucepan, combine water, milk, butter, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and immediately add the flour, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a smooth ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes to dry the mixture slightly. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Using an electric mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe 10-12 cm (4-5 inch) lines onto the lined baking sheet, leaving space between each eclair. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 190°C (375°F) and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
In a large saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until just steaming. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, cornflour, and egg yolks until smooth. Gradually pour the hot milk over the egg mixture while whisking. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and comes to a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla extract, and pistachio paste until smooth. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired. Transfer the filling to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface, and refrigerate until cool.
Once both the eclairs and filling are completely cooled, transfer the pistachio filling to a piping bag with a small tip. Gently poke a hole at each end of the eclair and fill with the pistachio cream. Repeat for all eclairs.
Dip the tops of the filled eclairs into powdered sugar mixed with a little warm water for gloss, or sprinkle with powdered sugar. Garnish with chopped pistachios. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to two days.
