Why while the recipe is always a lot simpler than I remember, I prepare eclair only once every 2 or 3 years???… These and millefeuilles are probably my favorite French traditional patisseries, with strawberry tart. (I don\u2019t count simple fruit tarts, cobblers, and crumbles… they do not really count!!! \ud83d\ude09 What the three have in common is a delicious custard, and I love custard… with vanilla, cocoa, macha…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While my puff pastry is never really good, I have never been presumptuous enough to make an attempt at baking millefeuilles, but eclairs, choux are perfectly at the level of my abilities. And each time I am decided to make some, each time I prepare myself for a tedious task, and each time I am surprised by how quick and easy it was!!! And wonder why really I don\u2019t make some more often!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I always use the same recipe that I wrote sometime ago here<\/a>, beware that the custard ingredients quantities fill about 2\/3 of the choux, so if you want to fill all of them, you need to multiply by 1.3 the custard quantities or use 2\/3 of the pate a choux ingredients. I use these quantities because sometime a choux doesn\u2019t bake with the perfect shape, and because A. and I like to test the choux out of the oven! And I realized it is always almost at the same time of year I make it and only when we have friends visiting!!! The recipe makes quite a lot of them actually so that may explain the second point… as it is better not to keep them more than 24h!!! They are so much better fresh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have a good day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why while the recipe is always a lot simpler than I remember, I prepare eclair only once every 2 or 3 years???… These and millefeuilles are probably my favorite French traditional patisseries, with strawberry tart.
