Recipe Introduction

It’s National Chocolate Éclair Day! Did you know that “éclair” is the French word for lightning? These delicious pastries probably got their name from the frosting across their tops, which resembles a flash of lightning. Éclairs have been a favorite treat since their creation in the 1860s, and they will certainly continue to be a bakery shop staple for a very long time. The French call the dough of these treats “choux,” which is carefully baked so that it rises just enough to allow for a hollow interior. Then, cream, custard, or purée is piped into its center and it is topped off with fondant icing. With its flaky dough and sweet, creamy filling, this French dessert has become a global favorite.
