My favorite pastry. These are coffee and chocolate flavors. Eclairs are choux filled with creme patissiere that can be flavored with coffee essence/chocolate ganache and dipped into fondant of the same flavor. Fondants are tricky - never add water - sprinkle it! The skill of pastry chef is judged by the quality of her eclairs!!! Deceivingly simple. Have to be perfect. I made mine gluten-free and the "other Chef" like like them a lot. My Chef said : ça fait drôle, ça fond dans la bouche! He looked content though. ça marche cette pâte!

Estos pasteles los comía en Granada. Eran más pequeños, y algunos tenían un baño de caramelo.
