In the “old days” eclairs in bakeries were decorated with a zig-zagged “Z” of chocolate frosting–like a lightning bolt (my family owned a bakery.) Also, I have a relative in France who has an auto body shop and it’s called “Eclair” body repair–which promises a fast repair job.

Thank you for the question! I have updated the Creme Patisserie ingredient list to clarify it should just be 6 egg yolks, NOT whole eggs. Cheers!

Same with mine. Flat, soggy in the middle and no color! Ugh.

Hi Jillian. I’ve made these and only added rum to the pastry cream and omitted the white chocolate and it tasted delicious.

Halved the recipe and made about 14 eclairs and 4 profiteroles. We had to eat them all as they were too delicious. Worked well so thanks.

Hi Tina,

Yes, this can be doubled!

Enjoy, Zoë
