  • Indulge in the delightful pleasure of homemade chocolate Eclairs, prepared with freshly made choux pastry, stuffed with luscious vanilla pastry cream, and dressed in a rich chocolate glaze. This recipe yields one dozen French pastries, perfect for serving at your next celebratory gathering or special occasion! Eclairs are my Favorite thing to make and eat. Creamy and indulgent , but somehow light and balanced. They'll be gone in a flash, which is how they got their name, which translates to flagh of lighting in French.

    My aunt used to make them for me but would never tell me the ingredients. I was careful about my fat intake. "If I tell you, you won't eat them." Ignorance was bliss. She passed away at 99 and is still missed.

      @@deedee1155 Thank you. No, unfortunately I don't. But there was nothing especially distinctive about the eclairs and cream puffs. She likely just used a cookbook.
      It certainly was not a family recipe. But she made them for me and that's what was so special.

    Making choux pastry is so much fun and easy, seeing them puff up like magic! A friend made a towering croquembouche for a wedding years ago. Impressive. One of my favourite recipes is from years ago in the Betty Crocker recipe card library (I collected it as a young teen). The Danish Puff - choux over a pastry base with almond icing and slivered almonds on top! I even made an orange version with fine peel in the icing. Now you can show us gougeres.😊

    I noticed when you turned the burner off (when the milk bubbled) you didn’t move the pot off the hot burner. Is that because you’re using a gas range or because you want the burner to stay hot. I’m afraid the milk would burn. My burners (electric glass cooktop) stay hot for quite awhile. Should I move the pot to a cool burner?

    • @annbrookens945
      @annbrookens945 4 дня назад

      You should definitely lift the pot off an electric burner! It stays hot much too long and will continue to heat up the mixture when you want to to cool off just a bit.

    I love to eat eclairs. I prefer them with a crispy sugar mixture on top (similar to the crispy top on Crème Brûlée) more like a crisp caramel instead of chocolate. I could find them in Cuban bakeries in Miami, but not for awhile now. I think they’ve stopped topping them that way. Too bad.
    I’d love to see you show how to make the top the eclairs that way.
