I made eclairs!
I don’t know why, but I have been wanting to make eclairs from scratch for months now. So I did. I think I saw part of a cooking show that made it look easy to make eclairs. It’s not. But I tried it anyway.
And you know what I found out?
They weren’t great. The crust was a little too crunchy, and the filling was too sweet… and not as vanilla-y or fluffy as I wanted; the chocolate icing on top was a little too hard…
But that’s not what I found out.
What I found out was, even “bad” eclairs are pretty darned good!
