been pretty obsessed with baking eclairs the past 2 weeks - trying to get a perfectly hollow center, but the pate a choux gods seem to revel in my failures. i’ve used up more than half of the freezer space for the less-than-perfect eclairs and mum’s getting pretty annoyed.
so i re-crisp the frozen eclairs, whipped up tons of pastry cream and dark chocolate glaze and filled those little fingers. ended up with 2 huge trays of eclairs (at least 50). they’re not the most photogenic eclairs but were tasty.
that much chocolate and full cream milk can’t be good for you so dad’s gonna bring one of the trays to work to, you know, spread the love.
