What is an eclairs?
An eclair is an oblong pastry made with choux dough, filled with a cream and topped with icing. The dough, which is the same as that used for profiteroles, is piped into an oblong shape and baked until it is crisp and hollow inside. Once cool, the pastry is then filled with a variety of creams, such as vanilla, coffee or chocolate-flavoured custard, and then topped with a sweet glaze.
The History of the Eclair
The eclair originated in France during the nineteenth century. The word “eclair” means “flash of lightning” in French, and it is believed that the pastry was given this name because it is eaten so quickly! The invention of the eclair is credited to Antonin Carême, a famous French chef who was known for his elaborate and decorative pastries.
