Éclair is a very
famous French pastry made from pâte à choux (choux pastry). I’ve read that it
has been a popular dessert for over 120 years by now. Yet, I always thought
that making éclairs is incredibly complicated. Therefore, for the longest time
I was very hesistant to try and make them myself. But when I finally did have
the courage to try them, I was so surprised to find out that it’s not that
complicated at all and they turned out great from the first try! Granted, they
don’t look all that uniform and professional as the ones in French bakeries but
the taste is the same! Besides, home baking doesn’t have to look perfect.
