Eclair Pastry
Method
Eclair Preparation
Add Eggs
Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy.
Pipe the Eclairs
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Use a piping bag fitted with a large round tip to pipe 4-inch long lines of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake
Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Do not open the oven door while baking.
Cool
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Fill with Cream
Once cooled, fill the eclairs with pastry cream or whipped cream using a piping bag.
Glaze (optional)
Dip the tops of the filled eclairs in melted chocolate or glaze as desired.
