I think this book is amazing. I got it from the Houston Library and it had so many wonderful recipes in it. Cakes and Pies, Torts and Cookies...And then I saw a recipe for Eclairs. Oh wow how I wanted to go fly to Louisiana where they have the best Eclairs on the face of the earth. (Besides Paris of course) So I rounded up some courage and decided to try it and did you know it only took me 6 tries to get the pastry part right? (Only 2 hours but everyone at work loved it). At least next time I know how they will turn out.
Pardon the few pictures. I was curing so bad that I forgot to snap what each one of my disaster turn outs looked like.
This first recipe is to make the eclairs. Basically it is your typical pastry dough.
