Éclair
An éclair is a classic French pastry made from choux dough, which is light and airy. It’s typically elongated and filled with cream, such as custard or whipped cream, and topped with a smooth layer of icing or chocolate. The dough is piped into a shape, baked until crisp, and then filled and decorated. Éclairs are popular for their delicate texture and rich flavor combination of sweet filling and shiny glaze. They’re commonly served as desserts or treats in cafés and bakeries worldwide.
