Eclairs

Eclairs are a classic French pastry composed of light, airy choux dough that’s piped into elongated shapes and baked until puffed and golden. Once cooled, they’re filled with rich cream, such as pastry cream or whipped filling, and topped with a smooth layer of chocolate or icing. Their delicate texture combines a crisp exterior with a creamy interior, making them a popular treat. Eclairs showcase skilled pastry techniques and balance of flavors, blending lightness with indulgence in a visually appealing, handheld dessert.
