Eclairs
Eclairs are a classic French pastry that never fails to impress! These delicate treats feature a light and airy choux pastry filled with creamy vanilla pudding (or whipped cream) and topped with a rich chocolate glaze. Perfect for special occasions or just indulging your sweet tooth, homemade éclairs bring the charm of a French patisserie straight to your kitchen.
